That would be so good! I flew in the one behind me a few years ago. Cool birds hey. Strange how things of war and destruction have become cool though.

During the Vietnam War the U.S supply the Royal Lao Airforce with alot of these T28. The Royal Lao Airforce pilots flew these T28 to bomb Communist targets in Laos. On July 12, 1969 Four Royal Lao T28 was on a urgent mission to attack Communist AAA gun position. 1 of the T28 was shoot down by the Communist that day. Royal Lao pilot Kham Phiou was one of the pilot that was on that mission that day in his T28. He told this story back in 1985 and I turn it into a little reading video with some small actual footage to pay tribute to them. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpmtp4OeqMl9sLs Royal Lao Air Force T28 Famous pilot Lee Lue en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Lue

The French version started out as T 28-A but were converted in transit with R-1820 engines salvaged from B-17s. They had two 12mm machine guns on the port wing tip. Relatively shortly after arrival and use the conflict was ended.
