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. Featured here are
2 of the dozen or so T-28s that are based at Camarillo.
