The North American Aviation T-28 Trojan is a piston-powered military training aircraft used by the United States Air Force and Navy since the 1950s. In addition to its use as a training aircraft, the T-28 was successfully used as a counterinsurgency aircraft, mainly during the Vietnam War. He continued to be used for civilian purposes as aerobatics.
Unlike the T-28B, the T-28C is fitted with a hook for landing on aircraft carriers.
