My Navy Flight Log book entries include that on April 26, 1968, I carrier qualified on the USS Lexington in this T-28, serial number 140549.

Flew these as a student in 1975 and again as an instructor 1979-1981. Love this airplane!

[@gasquetmike8320]

Cool!!!

[@jeepman1467]

This brings back a lot of memories, the T-28 was the first airplane I soloed in.

[@gasquetmike8320]

VERY cool!!!! Bet you have some stories!

Always liked the T-28, remember when a T-28 went in off the runway at Van Nuys CA. It was being used illegally for flight training and the engine was over boosted on take off and the engine failed.The big mistake was the landing gear was lowered and it landed near a RC field. The plane turned up side down and the engine was ripped off the mounts, trainee was buried in the freshly plowed field and died. The owner payed out $1,000,000 to a middle eastern family and it basicly went away. He was a Attorney and made it go away. The plane was put in a hanger and I went to see it. The power management on take off in the T-28 is complex and must be followed with out fail.

Didnt see there was gonna be a flyby. I almost clicked off after takeoff, then you said “watch this.” Wasn’t disappointed

[@gasquetmike8320]

Glad you waited!!!

[@lancesay]

during the cia's secret war in the kingdom of laos, my uncle flew so many sorties... until he was shot down by the communist aaa; he shared the stories of how the engine came to life after that cranking.
