T-28 Trojan - Birmingham, AL - Static Aircraft Displays on Waymarking.com

The T-28 Trojan was designed to replace the T-6 Texan. The XT-28 was first flown on September 24, 1949. Found to be satisfactory, a contract was issued and between 1950 and 1957, a total of 1,948 were built.

After becoming adopted as a primary trainer by the USAF, the United States Navy and Marine Corps adopted it as well. Although the Air Force phased the aircraft out of primary pilot training by the early 1960s, continuing use only for limited training of special operations aircrews and for primary training of select foreign military personnel, the aircraft continued to be used as a primary trainer by the Navy (and by default, the Marine Corps and Coast Guard) well into the early 1980s.
