Adam Banks Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I just can't compete with DVJ's amazing shot of his T28 (http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/58510-ants-t28d-is-out/#entry528601), but here are mine - from a quick test from Ardmore: Setting off from Ardmore - with the wonderful NZWarbirds DC-3 in the background: My favourite shot: Such a photogenic aircraft (superb modelling and liveries): Back "home" with the Kiwi Catalina also in the frame: At the price Ant is charging, there's simply no excuse. You *need* this T28! Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This bird is turning out to be a little gem . The flight dynamics have me intrigued at the moment, need to spend some hrs in it . Could turn out to be a regular fly . How are you finding it Adam ?

rlaycock Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Hi Adam now how often have we seen the Trojan at air sows at Ardmore ? Great shots. I must be off to install and have a quick flight. Thanks for the gift Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are a few shots I have made yesterday. Peter At Ballina Byron Gateway NSW Above Ant's Ballina scenery NSW YBNA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Banks Posted May 4, 2013 Author Share Posted May 4, 2013 Peter - I love that last one the most! Bob - can you remember what it sounds like though? I think I was concentrating too hard on getting my pics in focus (and with a plane in them) to notice! @Gary ***ENVY*** ... I'd be interested to know how you find the sound compares. Also ... any pics of your trip?? Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlaycock Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Adam I remember it has a odd uneven sound, almost as though the engine was missing. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Super shots Adam and Peter. The sound set for this aircraft is just amazing. Flying with the outside view it sounds like a Harley pottering along! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m0dpsych Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Here you go Adam, one amazing plane to fly in! The thing I probably remember the most is when the pilot opened the canopy when coming into land. the blast of air was so strong I thought it was going to pull me out of the plane backwards. I have also added a little history be low about this particular plane as well. Sorry about pics, they are not the best quality but they are all I have. VH-TRO T28D Trojan is a genuine combat veteran. It was built by North American Aviation in 1951 for the USAF. In 1964 it was seconded to the CIA funded airline Air America for clandestine operations in Laos. After the Vietnam War finished the aircraft was delivered to the Royal Thai Airforce where it was used for counter insurgency activities on the Thai - Laos border. In 1976 it was sold to the Philippines Airforce where it operated with the P.A.F. 1st Strike Wing based at Sangley Point. It was one of several T-28Ds used in the attack and failed coup attempt on President Marcos presidential palace. It was then brought to Australia in 1990 where it has been totally restored over a 12 year period and first flown again on 5th October 2001 by Kim Rolph-Smith.

m0dpsych Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Hi Adam, It was awesome. The only thing that has topped it is sitting in the cockpit of an F111 at Amberley RAAF base. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
