To support the struggling Fokker company, the Dutch government ordered the Fokker 60, a stretched F.50, as a tactical transport aircraft for its air force. Only four F.60s were built and the RNLAF would have been much better off with a couple of extra C-130s instead. The Fokkers were disposed of to Peru in 2010.
