slide taken by Eberhard Kunze. - Mesaba Airlines leased this Fokker Friendship from Starair and operated it for Northwest Airlink; shown here in the latest colour scheme. The final commercial operator of the turboprop was Eagle Jet Charter from 1994 until 2003 (as N280EA); sold to Air Panama in 2006, it was ferried to Panama City, but it was only used for spares and was seen derelict, still in Eagle colours, with registration HP-1606PST applied, in 2009.

Originally delivered to Air Congo in the late 60s. Operated with a Danish registration in the USA, for Northwest and Eagle Conyon but later became N280EA. Ended its flying days with Air Panama out of Albrook in Panama City.
