John d Ruark middleburg, FL | I was stationed at VT-6 Whiting Field from 1976-1980. This was my first Duty Station. I loved this aircraft now looking back it was so simple. I went on and did my 20 years in the Navy and now I still work for the Navy on F18's at NAS Jacksonville Fl. I worked on 5 different aircraft in my career, it has been quite a journey from back then. 03/02/2011 @ 04:12 [ref: 36522] |

Wayne Elliott Kansas City, MO | I worked on T28's while stationed in Milton, Fl from 1976-1979 attached to squadrons VT2 and VT6 and these photos bring back a lot a memories. These planes sounded awesome at full power while doing the full power checks after power-plant work. Thanks for the memories.

François Dethier Puurs, OTH | Hi,
We are living in Belgium. We have a flying T28 in our country. We painted it in august 2000 in the original red and white colours as seen on the picture nr 4.
We will send you some pictures in the future. (they first must be put on a CD-rom)
Can you send us an e-mail address ? We accidently found your pictures on the internet by surfing the net looking for airplanes.
Do you have a website ?
Kind regards
Swa and Ria Dethier
