1965 Aloha Airlines Fairchild F-27 Friendship

Aloha Airlines Fairchild F-27 Friendship, Honolulu, March 1965

N5096A (MSN 73) flew with Aloha from FEB-1960 (new) to SEP-1965.

 

Similar to the Fokker F-27 aircraft, the Fairchild version was built in the US under an exclusive licensing agreement. It featured several enhancements and upgrades to the original Fokker design. Read more: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairchild_F-27

 

Scanned from an original 35mm Dynacolor Corporation (3M) slide in my collection. Dated MAR-1965. It's not the greatest slide, but it is still unique due to it being in color and for the year that it was captured.
