EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Fokker C-31A Troopship 85-1608, a military transport aircraft belonging to the United States Army. The plane, with the manufacturing serial number 10668 and military designation F27-400M, was a member of the Fokker C-31A series, which was based on the civilian F27 Friendship airliner. Circa 1997, this particular aircraft served with the Golden Knights Parachute Display Team. The Fokker C-31A was a versatile and agile aircraft, capable of carrying troops, cargo, and even paratroopers. In the image, we see the plane adorned with the distinctive insignia of the Golden Knights, an elite parachute team of the United States Army. The team, known for their precision and skill, often used the C-31A as a transport and jump platform. The Fokker C-31A, with its distinctive winglets and sleek design, was a popular choice for military transport applications due to its efficiency and reliability. The aircraft's ability to operate from short runways and its high payload capacity made it an ideal choice for the demanding requirements of military transportation. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the world of military aviation, showcasing the Fokker C-31A Troopship 85-1608 in its element, serving the United States Army with distinction. The image, part of The Tony Lovelock Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a testament to the rich history and importance of military transport aircraft in the annals of aviation history.
