This aircraft was used by the US Navy as an advanced trainer from 1954 to 1978. It was stored at Davis Mothan AFB, Tucson Arizona, until I acquired the aircraft in 1989. The first civilian flight was in 1990. T28s were used during the Viet Nam war as ground attack fighters. As a fighter they could carry 4,000 lbs. of bombs, rockets, and two 50 cal. Machine guns.
