During our extensive search for high-quality aircraft, we were thrilled to meet the owner of this stunning T28. After being invited to fly this remarkable machine, our Managing Director, Andy, had the opportunity to put the aircraft through its paces, showcasing its capabilities. The owner demonstrated how the T28 serves as both a stable platform for recreational flying and an agile performer for graceful warbird aerobatics. While the T28 was originally designed for training, its performance should not be underestimated. If you're seeking the thrill of warbird flying combined with the modern comforts of an IFR-capable cockpit, the T28 truly delivers. Powered by the Wright Cyclone 1425 HP radial engine, it is not only easy to operate but delivers an exhilarating soundtrack that will delight its new owner and fellow aviation enthusiasts. This aircraft is a true testament to the dedication of its current owner and the engineers who have meticulously maintained it irrespective of cost. A full training and handover plan is available with this aircraft, as well as ongoing support to any EU, UK or worldwide buyer. ‍ Designed to replace the World War II era T-6 trainer, the T-28 possessed higher performance than its forerunner and was easier to maintain. Also, the Trojan's tricycle landing gear taught pilots to take off and land in the same fashion as the high-performance aircraft they were training to fly. The first T-28 flew in September 1949, and the T-28A entered production in 1950. An 800-hp engine powered the U.S. Air Force version (T-28A) while the later U.S. Navy versions (T-28B and C) were powered by a 1,425-hp engine. When production ended, North American had built a total of 1,948 T-28s. Beginning in 1962 the USAF modified more than 200 T-28As as tactical fighter-bombers for counterinsurgency warfare. Equipped with 1,425-hp engines, these airplanes (redesignated the T-28D "Nomad") were effective weapons for close air support against enemy troops in Southeast Asia.
