Slide taken by the late Norbert Kröpfl. - About 50 years ago, the Fokker 28 was very popular with German charter airlines, and they bought a total of 11 new aircraft (Aviaction 3, Germanair 4, and LTU 4). Summer holiday destinations in the Mediterranean were within the range capability of the small airliner, but the preferred winter holiday spots like Canary Islands could not be reached nonstop, and the Fokkers were mostly parked idle in the snow in Germany. So, all of them had been sold by 1977; this one continued flying with ITAVIA and ended up with Canadian Regional as C-GCRN.
