T28's

Took these at Oshkosh whilst sheltering from the sun, under the wing of a parked up T28. The noise from those engines when 8 pulled into the pan in line astern was bl**dy awesome, the ground vibrated and the air as well.

Very nice pics. Makes me wish I still had mine. The guy in the first few photos is Ralph Glasser (aka Skydoc) out of Illinois. Ralph has the T-28B (with a D wing) with USAF down the fuselage, and he is one of the lead organizers for the T-28 formation flights and training weeks before OSH and Sun N Fun. A good stick, and all around great guy.

Here are some photos from when I last flew with Ralph, at Sun N Fun a few years ago. The T-28 is a wonderful airplane to fly, but the maintenance was pretty high. Much more complex, from a systems standpoint, than the Sea Fury.

Oh nice pics, thanks Gary.

The T-28 makes an unusual noise for a Radial.
Apparently this is attributed to the 3+3+3 design of the exhaust stacks.

Loved seeing the T-28 at Wanaka this year, beautiful aircraft.
