Yep, I flew on them in the sixties, Ozark airlines. One flight we lost engine after takeoff, returned to our airport. Ozark sent a DC-3 to pick us up. A Fokker Ozark crashed near STL with loss of life.Fokker F-27

Yes. Those Darts made quite the sound.Are those de-icing boots on the leading edges of the wings?
C-31: 43,000 lbs. C-130: 155,000.The U. S. Army Golden Knights used to jump out of one of those. I don't remember how they got it. I guess it was cheaper to operate than a C-130.
Here is a guy talking about Mr. Focke's airplanes.Remember the British Ace telling the queen about his most harrowing mission? "There were Fokkers on the left and Fokkers on the right". The queen asked, "Were any of those Fokkers Messerschmitts?
IIRC they relived a Colombian transport organization of it.The U. S. Army Golden Knights used to jump out of one of those. I don't remember how they got it. I guess it was cheaper to operate than a C-130.
