Sweet! were you a bit worried as to the condition of the AC? Very cool job you have there [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Nope.

I've been in and out of every crevice of that T-28, and not a single thing was wrong with it. The plane is also built VERY strongly.

Nice Trojan. Nothing wrong with its condition for its age.

The Trojan is a cool plane... it has a nice growl to it...  :)

Didn't mean any ill will with that statement by the way Personally, Im a technician and pretty sensitive when i comes to my work.

Lucky you...!  :o
It's easy to look at that rear-seater panel and think "Jeez; looks pretty junky.." but most of that stuff is inop and marked as such; doesn't mean it's an unsafe airplane. They were built strong, and assuming that Trojan never saw combat service, it's probably still nowhere near the end of its projected lifespan, in terms of stress.

Lucky old you.

That's a smashing P-40.

Hey thanks for comments everyone. And yes, the front seat panel was in perfect condition.

it has a nice growl to it...

You should try being inside one. The sound is just.... AWESOME, and loud.

You are one lucky engineer! Must have been a pleasure flying and working on those birds!!

Lucky you. The in flight shots make me want to jump in the plane myself.

Swweeeet!  8-)

Nice i was there today before my flight The P-40 had it's engine covers off and the rear part of the canopy with more markings than that .

The P-51 is magnificent there huh T-28 is very good too nice big and a convenient  ladder we got a tour of the museum (it was packed when we where there, full of planes not people lol) by a guy name Rick who was an engineer in US Navy, saw quite a few other people there too.
