F27-300M C-4
The Fokker F27 was the workhorse of the Dutch Air Force for almost 36 years. C-1, C-2 and C-3 were F27-100 ‘Friendships’, the other nine were F27-300M ‘Troopships’ with a larger cargo door.
During their operational time, that lasted from 1960 to 1996, the Fokkers were updated and modified numerous times. During peace keeping UN-missions in Cambodia and former Yugoslavia some were sprayed white and received flare systems for self defence.
Photo taken at Eindhoven airbase in September 1994. C-4 was sold to Luft Afrique in South Africa as ZS-OEJ, and was sold again and again and again until it was withdrawn from use.
