T-28 Trojan 9cyl. 1500hp RADIAL ENGINE | AWESOME SOUND ! 

I flew my first solo in a T-28 exactly 66 years ago at Whiting Field as a NavCad at age 21. I logged 120 hours in one. It was the adventure of a lifetime,

I loved flying the T-28…carrier qualified as a student and instructed years later in VT-27. Our airplanes had a different paint scheme and if I remember right we had Bravos and Charlies…Charlies had a tail hook. Great memories. Thanks for the video.

My father was AOCS at NAS Pensacola in 56 or 57. He started in the T-34, then flew the T-28, eventually becoming a flight instructor, and racking up over 2,000 hours in type. He always raved about what phenomenal aircraft the T-28 was. First time you get up close to one you will be amazed how damned BIG it really is.

I flew this type aircraft as a starting Naval Aviator in 1962 and 63, fabulous aircraft the B model with the bigger propeller was very fast I had it to 340 knots in level flight. I was unlucky enough to have the engine blowup and had to dead stick into a farmers field with gear up, a way to celebrate my birthday that very day. At the LexingtonCarrier I watched in horror as the student behind me tried an aileron roll off the end of the carrier with the wheels down. he didn't make it.

I got a grand total of 36.0 hours in this beauty before moving on to the T-2C back in 1977 (where the Navy gave me 103.4 hours - they don't waste much time! At 275.6 hours total flight time, I had my first flight in the F-8J. GOD BLESS NAVAL AVIATION!)....Whiting Field, Florida. An instructor told me that at full power, the exhaust pipes put out 94 pounds of thrust. I have no idea if he was bullshitting me or not.

I was one of the last to fly the T-28 in the Training Command in VT-27 in Corpus Christi. It was a beast of an airplane to fly. At 30" of manifold pressure on run up at the beginning of the runway, you could barely hold the brakes. I was a proud member of the "300 mph club", something you never would have seen in the T-34!

Brings back my flying memories from almost 60 years ago!

The T28 started my aviation career that is still going after 44 years and 24,000 hours. It still evokes fond memories seeing oil drips under the engine and the smell of avgas as another flight in the south Texas spring and summer.

Ya gotta love the sound of the round!

In 1967-68 I was stationed at Whiting Field in Florida in VT-3 as a plane captain on T-28s. Awesome airplanes. A trainer with the performance of an early WW2 fighter. This is the same engine that was used in the B-17, Douglas Dauntless and some Wildcats, among others.

What's not to love? Very nice video displaying the T-28 Trojan. It's just one of those planes aviation fans love.

The good ole T 28 . They were even used for resupply to Army guys in the jungles of Laos & Cambodia . We called them Sweetie Pies . Two body bags full of food - cigarettes - medical - ammo and other lovely stuff - Tied together with cordage and "100 mph tape" / the original duct tape . Dropped using a small cargo chute .

Interesting that it has VT-5 and Lexington markings, but it's either a B or D model without a tailhook. I flew them as a Navy flight student in the early 70's. Love the engine sound! Great memories!

A t28 with spinner 🧐✈️ powerful beauty

I grew up one mile away from NAS Saufley Field in Pensacola, FL at the height of the Navy's use of T-28's. I miss them flying overhead all day dearly.

Super Film, wirklich toll gemacht, schöne Aufnahmen und toller Sound!

what a nice sound!!!!

I saw one of these in Aus, they make a beautiful noise!

Perfekt gefilmt, toller Sound. Herrlich ;)

Wow! That sound! Just amazing :) Great video!

At idle, the R-1820 sounds a lot like a Harley Davidson V Twin. Potato, potato, potato. Back in 1979-80 I worked on the US2B powered by two of those engines. That was with the Naval Air Reserve Unit, NAS Memphis. When it was taxiing in another member of the crew said, "Sounds like the plane is coming in." I replied, "Either that, or a pair of T-28's."

The piston planes are so awesome. 👍🏻🇺🇸

Incredible little airplane!!

nice landing - so smooth it was hard to tell when it actually touched the ground. I like to watch RC aerobatics but so many of the landings are like a fish being thrown on top of a boat.

Awesome!

Harley Davidson of the sky

While at NAS Lemored I was assigend to VA122, the A7E RAG outfit we called our T28s Maytags becaise the way they sounded when sitting on the ramp idleing. I puked in the bag when I was in the back seat target spotting at NAF Centro I always like the Trojen and would have loved to work on them but alas no Fire Control techs needed. I did get the chance to work on on ounce. I was the last one with any experience on the ARC27 radio.Getting ready to fly back to Lemore one aerocraft lost its radio. I tested the radio and it was ok. Started looking at the cables and found the output cable to the antenna hadbeen pulled out friom the antenna. There was no cable or connectors avaible at NAS El Centro. So with the help of two RG58 to RG 8 adapters and a chunk of RG58 I got the radio to work. I told the Piolt not to use the radio to much as the power to the transmitter would burn up the cable. An Other T28 story. While at NAF Fallon, a friend was in the back seat spotting bombs. And one of best piolts I knew was sitting in the front seat. The conversation whent like this: My friend "Mr. Lair the metal in the oil sump light just came on" Mr Lair "I know the engine just stopped. Mr. Lair belley landed the T28 and they both walked away. The trucked the T28 back to NAS Lemore. They jacked it up did and inspection cleaned the sage brush out put a new engine and prop on and returned to service. One tough crew and one tough aerocraft What I did was Fire Contreol tech, AQ, on A7E.

Just reading a book about the Ravens and Laotian pilots using these during the Vietnam era.

Suprisingly quick little thing

Just missed flying these at Whiting by about 3 months.

Mine only has 1425hp and is a T28B. I think that is a "D" which started out as an "A" that was modified for the South Vietnam Airforce.

Good sound in radial engine

Great video. That is definitely the closest thing airborne I've heard to a V -Twin Harley Davidson motorcycle engine. Gutsy little airplane. Thanks for sharing.

I can imitate the sound of a radial engine with my trombone

Ein Traum von einem Flugzeug 😉

We called it the "Trojan," not the "Nomad." Nice video.

Hermoso sonido radial .. yo tengo escala hecho por mi

VT-5 as viewed on the side of the aircraft was the training squadron for carrier landings. But notice there's no hook !

Este avión es una belleza clasica

This thing will out climb an F4 Phantom

The legend heroes of Secret war in Laos

The best planes for the. RLAF.

Is that the right prop spinner?

That plane ment business

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Bailando rock

Is this engine the same as the one on a DC-3?

Sounds very rich almost fouling.

My fav! ❤ For the $$$🤑

This is the T28 American brought to the war in Laos communist

Look at the "original" Trojan right here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-edc1J7HJCg8.html. Same engine. Very similar control surfaces. The 'Cat was the Navy's front line fighter from Pearl Harbor to the summer of 1943. At NAS Pensy in 1966, the Trojan was a 'Cat on steroids.

I wonder if that Propeller Spinner makes it go any Faster

Tolle Maschine aber leider interessiert Sie niemand

Very good channel great content. Bad video format with No controls, no volume, size choice very BAD. Thus no likes or subscripts. This new BAD format is costing you money.

Typical american attitude; bigger is better. 1063 kW in training plane?! Someone lost his mind.
