The T-28 was the first post war advanced trainer produced in quantity for training pilots in high speed jet aircraft. Nearly 2000 of these fine trainers were built before production was ended in 1957. With the advent of the war in South Vietnam, the T-28 was given a new lease on life when it proved to be an effective “COIN” or counter insurgency aircraft against enemy forces operating in the dense, tropical jungle. Flow by a Vietnamese pilot, the T-28 usually would carry an American advisor-observer on the combat missions.
