In 1956 Fokker signed a licensing agreement with US aircraft manufacturer Fairchild to build F-27s in the USA. While building F-27s, Fairchild independently developed the FH-227 featuring a 6 ft (1.83m) fuselage stretch. N2227L was the first of these off the production line. Pictured in Fairchild house colors, the aircraft was tested and demonstrated by Fairchild 1966 - 74 before sold to Mobile Oil as N2657. Acquired by the Burma / Myanmar Air Force in 1977 with serial 0001, it is currently on display at the Defence Services Museum in Naypyidaw, Myanmar.

This was the second FH-227 built and was owned by Fairchild Hiller when the slide was taken. It was being used as a press plane that was following Vice President Hubert Humphrey while he was on a campaign trip visiting Baton Rouge while running for President in 1968.
