"Men and weapons of the United Nations move out to far flung battle fronts carrying the fight to the strongholds of the enemy." When the UN was on our side.

My very first flight as a student aviator was in the T-28B Trojan with a very round nine cylinder Wright Cyclone engine rated at 1425 HP. Always wished I could fly one after I had a lot more flight time and knew what I was doing.

The Jug was the best fighter of WW II...the fastest, the most agile...etc...one came home one time with 3,000 bullets holes while ONE bullet was enough to kill them sleek water cooled wonders, Fritz or Allied...Same with the Pratt R-2800...best engine ever built...I have ten fire seasons riding them and they only got replaced with turbines because they dont make aviation fuel anymore...you could stay on station twice as long as with turbos.

Hey Esteve, one of my flight instructors way back had been an instructor at Beeville. He said one day the big fan quit right over the highway, trimmed for best glide, no biggie. There was one car right where he needed to go. He slipped her a little to let the car get ahead but it was going to be close. He plunked her down right behind the car and layed on the brakes. A little boy popped up in the back window and became all eyes and mouth, frozen at the sight of the big airplane about to gobble them up, just in time the car pulled away and the driver never had a clue what was behind. He said the little boy never moved and probably got his ass beat that night for the big fib he told about some airplane on the highway. I never see a T28 without thinking about that kid. -Anymouse

Anymouse, it was NAS Corpus Christi for me. Terrorizing the skies of south Texas since 1941.
