Preparing to go Transatlantic in the T-28 Trojan Warbird 

The T-28 was the very first airplane I ever flew back in 1976 (US Navy). I remember very clearly my first solo in that plane. I was terrified! I later went on to jets, but I will always have a special respect for pilots that flew aircraft like the T-28, Hellcat, Spitfire, etc.

These are spectacular birds.

And the Trojan have arrived safely here in Notodden ENNO ^^ can't wait to see it perform at the airshow 4th September =)

Everything about this video is right loving it

What a fantastic video! Thank you

What nice report!!! Thanks

A magnificent airplane!

The airplane is a B-model, but it appears to have a propeller from a C-model. The C-prop had squared tips because the C-model was the carrier-capable model and when the nose strut compressed in a trap at the boat, the prop had to clear the deck, but the C-prop was far less efficient. The T-28 is pretty slow anyway; I think I remember climb at 130Kts (110 max angle-of-climb) and maybe 170Kts cruise. Also, it is NOT a warbird. It's far too stable with 7 degrees wing dihedral. The roll rate is miserable--an aileron roll took 20 degrees nose-high and with all the aileron it had and some rudder, and we couldn't get it around without finishing 10 degrees nose-low. It was OK for slower maneuvers like barrel rolls and loops, though. The A-4, into which Patrick Laine (comment below) later went had a 720 degrees-per-second maximum roll rate, and we did it, too! Now that was a great airplane, especially later models with the J-52 P408 engine.

I love the T-28. Unfortunately there's not a lot here in Philippines. Most ended up as scraps in junkyards long ago. I'm a Filipino by the way. But I hope to find one, buy it, restore to flying condition, register & certify it, & fly it to my heart's content. Maybe used as crop duster, air racer (that would be the first one in here), or just a leisure plane.

Hi, I was crew chief of AT28. 645 in Thailand in the 70's Love the Air plane strong little plane.

Nice job on the video, I liked the Northland music.

I like the fuselage’s sexy shimmy on final approach! Haha

Beautiful

Bos, i like T28 very much❤

Excellent video! This old warbird looks pretty up to date in its own way. But for a "two-place single-engine all-metal airplane" ?! It's humongus! Compare to Cam Murch's Murphy Rebel! Mister FlightCast I applaud your video work! The news conference on the ramp was great! And lucky to have a tail-cam, eh? Good editing between cockpit and ground video! You have a way of weaving the cuts together to tell a story! Sigurd strikes a heroic figure, don't he? Congratulations on taking advantage of this aviation video opportunity! I recommend more live video like this! Keep your ears open to anything happening at Parry Sound! Thanks!

First time I soloed one I had a gear problem....The gear wouldn't come up! I thought later about how safe it would be to belly one in because you are sitting so high in the air. That is if there is no fire. Great bird, great video.

Wanted to hear the engine NOT that stupid music!

Legend says they are still trying to land on that airfield.

T-28 reminds me during flew in Laos

Wow!!!

In 1973 went for a ride in one of these with my division officer. Did a little this and a little that and he asked what I thought. I answered with stupidest comment one can make to a fighter pilot. That's okay if that's all ya can do. He said well I can do this. Where upon I got more views of the sky, sea, and land than ever care to see again!

how do they take this back to norway, fly it all the way or shipping it. would have love knowing or seeing it.

How much does a transatlantic flight costs for the owner?

Nice resto. I enjoy engine start, too. It was best while inside the A/C, back in the day! Liked your multi-cam coverage, esp. the slo-mo. Sorry, but for me loud music ruins the flight. Had to mute it.

Bonjour a tous du Canada It's probably a conversion ,the original training plane T-28 had a800 h.p. motor France for Algérie war ,install a B-17 engine ,United State do the same thing ,that give this little monster.

Boy, those big Fowler Flaps come out and do their job well...!!!

Cool video! Do you know how much experience the ferry pilot has had flying a T-28 in the past or was this his first time?

Must have had extra fuel, but I could not see any tanks. Probably burns about 60 gallons per hour.

That slo-mo tho.

El T28 Troyan al igual que el AT 6 y el PC 7 Pilatus son para mí gusto los mejores aviones de Combate y entrenamiento bien construidos y de mejor rendimiento en cuanto a aviones militares se refiere pues quién escribe esta nota es bastante fanático a los aviones antigüos y le entristece profunda mente que los retiraron del servicio activo so pretexto de que los motores aún funcionando digan estúpidamente que tienen fallas o que son obsoletos que mal por ello mis respetos y admiración para los constructores pilotos y mecánicos que ponen en marcha esas hermosas creaciones poderosas llamadas Aviones Gracias humildemente Baltazar Carmona Juárez mi apodo es Halcón el Piloto Misterioso

Too bad I can't hear the lovely sound of that engine because of the music..

A P51 with an 1820 Wright...!!!

How’s he gonna rip butts in that thing?

How neat is it that the Government would sell these to the Public as Military Surplus when they're done with them

Hey... Sexy Plane (Minute 7:10) Cool...!! Yeah, it would be good to leave the Original Engine Sound, the most exciting characteristic of Radial Power..!! Anyway, is a good video 👍 Waiting for the Second Part.

Could do with out the back ground music. It ruins the video.

Leave the stupid music out & listen to that beautiful radial !

Another nice airplane vid destroyed by music........engine is the music in these kind of vids

Why the fuckin music???

Кофтемэ

music is to damn loud

The music drowns out that classic radial engine sound. That’s great! No one likes that radial sound anyway!

good film. great aircraft. annoying music.

Cut the crap music. Let the engine talk

Turn off the damn music, fer chrissakes!

Music ruined a great video.

stupid music over the beautiful sound of round. geez, when will you people learn? !!!

Sounds like 1300 not a 1820
