I went through the T-28 training syllabus at Whiting Field in 1970-71. It could be a bit of a handful at times. Just starting that big radial engine could be likened to starting a steam locomotive. If you didn’t do it just right you would get a tremendous backfire that could be heard across the base. That would require opening the cowling and manually checking the rubber booth between the carburetor and the engine. I saw one student do it twice in a row. The instructor was all sorts of bent out of shape. Fun times. If you opened it up as most students did on their solo hops you would note that it would use about a gallon a minute of fuel and that was the 130 octane variety.
I was stationed at NAS Whiting from 78-81. Worked OMD. Was there when VT-6 was the last squadron flying the Trojan....Loved that bird! Was turn qualed on the T-28 and duel engine qualed on the S-2. 1820 was an awesome motor! Used 115/145 AVGAS, never backfired the bitch but I changed plenty of stacks for the knuckleheads that did....😜 At OMD we handled a lot of cross countries from Corpus and other places....C-1s and S-2's.. Changed a bunch of those motors. Loved it...Thanks for flying it!
My father was based in Pennsicola in 62 as part of training squadron 6 & Traron Two. He flew in T-28's One of my biggest regrets is that I didn't accompany him back down to Pennsicola in the late 90's when he went to revisit his old base. This was just pre 9/11. The base commander I was told gave him and my mother a permission to drive around some of the base that dad operated out of with a personal S/P escort.
That spinner really sets it off. Got a couple of hours in the front seat of one during a Blue Angels airshow when I and my colleagues were responsible for putting it on. Doing aerobatics over the Florabama on a clear autumn day was the best! What an amazing aircraft!
I grew up in rural Georgia (the US State, not The Nation in Eastern Europe) and my Uncle was the manager of the nearest airport, which was in another nearby small town called Thomson. There among the many Cessnas, Pipers, etc... Was the beautiful T-28, painted with that shark's tooth grin and camo paint job made famous by Chennault's Flying Tigers of the China Theater of WW2 pre-US Entry into the war. Some of my earliest and absolute favorite memories are flying in that plane with my Uncle or one of his very, very few pilots allowed to also fly the T-28. I was fortunate enough to have even had a couple of my pilot's license lessons in that beauty! Man can she climb and dive!! And some of the absolute BEST handling you could EVER ask for in any aircraft, Piston OR Jet Engined!
Used to have a T-shirt just the plane and the word Trojan underneath. My dad gave to me as a baby boy, on his way to flyin the A4 Skyhawks and A6 Intruder for 2& 28 years, respectively. Some of my favorite stories were/are of him and his classmates learning how to fly this…
My dad was an air force fighter pilot. He took his mom up in a t- 28 she was an old cajun woman and he took her up, in maybe 58? I wish a picture was available
Does the Torjan only have Flaperons or Flaps and Ailerons? Also looks to have a centrally mounted air-brake under the wing. Reson for asking is i am building a RC model of it from scratch so interested in replicating the actual control surfaces. Really i need specs and some basic plans of the real aircraft, for stuff like engine thrust line, offset of vertical tail etc. Ta.

These T-28s Trojans were the workhorses during the CIA's Secret War in Laos 1962-1975. They can be equipped with 4×500? lbs bombs on top of 2×.50mm machine guns and used in the same role as the German Stukas bombers. They were very effective against Pathet Lao and NVA forces eventhough some fell victim to DShK Heavy Machine guns. It would be a failure strategy if the enemy forces could bring in/ haul in anti- aircraft canons, but fortunately the rugged, steep ravine, and mountainous terrain prohibit them from doing so.. Skyraiders, F4 Phatoms, and A-8s Intruders were also used to drop Napalm bombs, but at a minimal rate.
Why the hell is this AT-28 marked USS Lexington? They were never flow.n off any carriers because they cant be fitted with an arresting hook! I flew these in Nam as ground attack. Capt ret USAF 20th SOS, 27th Spl Ops Wing, Nam 70-73.
Sorry, but VT-5 was the carrier qualification squadron at NAAS Sauffly Field in the 1960s. We were equipped with the T-28-C model complete with tail hook. We did five touch and gos on the USS Lexington and two full stops (traps) to qualify. If you were a NAVCAD or MARCAD you became a firsy class Cadet, officers had it noted, and all went to Advanced Training Command at various locations depending on the aircraft you were to fly.
Vt-5 and the Lex….first a low pass…two touch and goes with the hook up…and then six arrested traps…six deck launches….no catapult…reform after completion and four plane formation….return to base…T-28 Charlie’s…shorter prop…and hook…most exciting day I ever had flying

I flew it in 1958 at Whiting Field, For this then 20-year old, flying it was excitement on steroids!

The T-28 is such a beautiful plane. I fly a couple of different T-28 RC models, but nothing beats the sound of the real engine, of course!

Good Story . Thank you sharing
My late father carrier qualified in the T-28 and flew for the Marine Corps.

AirHammer out!!

yes if you guys like
My dad was an air force fighter pilot. He took his mom up in a t- 28 she was an old cajun woman and he took her up, in maybe 58? I wish a picture was available
began the t-28 training syllabus with VT-27 at NAS Corpus Christi June 1984
I was suposed to fly in a T 28 and sign up to join the Navy,
but luck would have it I joined the Air Force & had a great career !
what did you fly at the Air Force ?
@@Warbirds T 41, T 37 T 38
test flew many new aircraft
@@Warbirds in all I flew 81 different types...
@@garykullack2314 awesome.
I am still activly flying I am a charter pilot and flight instructor
Sehr schönes Video und man erfreut sich am Klang des Sternmotors :-)
Excellent video captures enjoying the sound of the big Block :-)
Danke . Der Motor klingt sehr stark
Super
These planes played the Yak-9U's in the movie "Battle Hymn"
Tolle Maschine und fliegt super!!!
i mag den Sound. Vor allem der Fennec Version
It looks like they just bolted wings to an engine and said go fly it. What a cool airplane.
American engineering
Wow, what a beautiful plane! And fantastic camera work too.
Ty enjoyed
THAT PLANE USED TO BELONG TO WAYNE BROOKS...VERY GOOD FRIEND...I HAVE A NUMBER OF HOURS FLYING THAT PLANE....GREAT PLANE....
Fantastic.....Wonderful.
Sehr schöne Aufnahmen 👍
Danke und diesmal habe ich den Sound sychron bekommen. Projekt ist aus 25 und 30 fps
Fantastic airplane.
Awesome
Thx
Always though thought the wings and the tail assembly shape were that of a P-51.

I just found out about this awesome plane..can out climb a phantom jet was one of the claims. Is this true?

Thank'U for theeses slendid weew !
user in the congo 1963 used by the arvn,,also
they are mostly retired however still can hit ground targets.
Anyone able to tell me more about a tail number 484776 T28 -1948 July specifically..

I noticed the lack of tail hook making that bird inconsistent with a Lexington bird. CQ on Lady Lex 3/67…very big fun👨✈️
Vt-5 and the Lex….first a low pass…two touch and goes with the hook up…and then six arrested traps…six deck launches….no catapult…reform after completion and four plane formation….return to base…T-28 Charlie’s…shorter prop…and hook…most exciting day I ever had flying
