We're talking of course, about the North American T-28 "Trojan." This time, AVweb's resident warbird maven invites you along as he qualifies for his FAA Letter of Authorization in the T-28. Although the Trojan has only about half the horsepower of the Bearcat, it's a considerably more complex airplane.

Deak takes you through the highlights of his 14 ground and ten flight sessions with T-28 owner Mark Matye.
