Fairchild Hiller FH-227
(Redirected from Fairchild FH-227)
The Fairchild Hiller FH-227 was a United States-made version of the Fokker F27 Friendship twin-engined turboprop passenger aircraft manufactured under license by Fairchild Hiller. It is superficially similar to the Friendship, though a closer look at the fuselage shows that the FH-227 has a larger cargo area between the cockpit and the passenger area.
