This T-28 departs after a day of static display at the 2016 Pacific Coast Dream Machines Show.  The Trojan is a 1950’s era training aircraft that was used by the Air Force and Navy, along with armed forces around the world, and eventually replaced by the T-34C Mentor.  The T-28B was a Naval land-based trainer variant (lacking a tailhook). The T-28 saw combat roles in Vietnam and Laos after being modified to carry weapons and ordnance. More than 1,900 were produced between 1950-1957.  Nikon D500 w/70-200mm.
