North American T-28

Had the opportunity to work around 2 different North American T-28 Trojans. One was based in GRR for 15 years or so, the other just a year or two. Need to get some new digital images of N28TY!

The T-28 (B & C) was the primary trainer in the 60's, 70's and 80's for the Navy and Marines. The Air Force used the A model as a trainer for a short time as well. The last U.S. Navy training squadron to fly the T-28 was VT-27, based at NAS Corpus Christi , Texas. That is the same squadron as the orange and white one depicted below.
