Talk:North American T-28 Trojan

RLAF
I added Royal Lao Air Force to list of users. They had 5 wings of 10 planes each, so they may be major users.

Also, I lack the skills to dub in flag of Kingdom of Laos. Would some good soul add it, please?

 * Laos and its flag are already on the list of operators. - Ahunt (talk) 23:54, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

US Navy
Why was the T-28 not assigned a unique US Navy designation code? Drutt (talk) 04:18, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Good question. It might have entered the USN inventory after the US 1962 United States Tri-Service aircraft designation system. It would take some investigation on the part of a user who is familiar with USN aircraft and designations. This probably needs to be done to improve the article. --TGC55 (talk) 18:45, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Page 33 of this PDF says "On 19 August 1952, the Joint Aircraft Committee of the Munitions Board took an initial step to eliminate multiple designations by establishing the policy that original model designations would generally be retained by the second service in the event of cross-service procurement of aircraft, thus the North American Trojan which was used as a trainer by the Air Force retained the Air Force designation T-28 when procured for naval service." The same rule probably applied to the T-34.

I know of more survivors
There is another T-28b in storage at an airfield with Marana Aerospace solutions bearing an Evergreen paint job. Tail number is N28EV serial number is 138334, it is currently not airworthy, last flight was between 2008 and 2011. I am not technological literate enough to add this to the article myself for fear of doing it wrong, and damaging the rest of the article. If some would could add this information for me, that would be great. I also have pictures if they are needed. These two links, have relevant data to the tail number... http://www.airport-data.com/aircraft/N28EV.html -http://flightaware.com/resources/registration/N28EV Thanks.-Bearded Rabbit (talk) 05:27, 16 February 2016 (UTC)  Bearded Rabbit 15 Feb 16
