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.

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.

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.

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

The P-51 is magnificent there huh :D T-28 is very good too nice big and a convenient  ladder :D 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.
