Had a special guest as the Mid America Flight Museum this past weekend. Stuwart Glemba stumbled upon his old restoration project. An incredibly informative and in-depth video on the restoration of our beautiful T-28.

Thanks so much for this video. It means a bunch to us T-28 fans to know that this type of history is documented. This is an awesome video!

Great video from an old ex-Navy T-28 flight instructor

I flew a T-28 as a flight surgeon in Pensacola when I volunteered to go to the Naval Aerospace Medical Institute in 1970. As I remember, it was difficult to start.

Great work restoring this T-28A. In 1952 NAA began delivery of the updated T-28A with the slightly lower T-28B style canopy and increased fuel capacity. The crash pylon behind the front seat was removed on those later production airplanes. There were some other improvements but I would have to refer back to an old tech manual to recall what they were. The instructors I knew all liked the T-28A. Never heard any complaint about lack of power in its role as a primary trainer.

Such a beautiful bird. Never seen a 28 with a nose wheel landing light before. Just thought they retracted from the wings.

8 weeks to build it. 8 years to restore it.

The aircraft is well done, but there is another modification he did not mention that it has the 9 cyl engine with the 3 bladed prop (from a C model) where as the actual A models had 7 cyl engine with two bladed prop. When going through flight training in the Navy, the difference between the A model and B model was the engine and prop. The C mode then in addition has a different prop (shorter a bit wider with square ends to clear the deck when the aircraft noses down when the wire is hooked) The difference between the B and C of course is the hook.

Nice airplane. I worked on T-28Bs in the Navy back in the 60s. Did this airplane originally have a 3 -blade prop? I thought all A models had 2-blade props?

Can you tell us how it flys compared to the 1425 hp version please?
