EAA AirVenture 2014- Oshkosh, Wisconsin
North American T-28 Trojan
The T-28 Trojan was
built as a replacement to the well-known AT-6 Texan. The Air
Force were the first to purchase them. Before long, the Navy
and Marine Corps also established interest in these great
trainers. Different models would follow with bigger engines in
the B model on up. The C model offered an arresting hook for
carrier landings. The D model added underwing hard-points to
be able to hang a variety of weapons. The D models were used
in Southeast Asia for counter-insurgency missions. The French
also ordered a number of T-28s and called them the Fennec. The T-28s this year made some great
formation passes and the Trojan Horsemen also performed.
