Aircraft of Air America
I came across this site that offers a wealth of information concerning aircraft operated by Air America. The T-28 chapter offers up some very nice photographs as well. Enjoy.

Complain away,...the fault appears to be with your set,...works fine for me.
The University of Texas at Arlington has one of the largest aviation research libraries west of the Mississippi River. Along with the Air America documents they also have a large amount of Raven material.

Worked okay for me FWIW. That's some serious graduate-level historical research there.

I remember helping picklling the Bell 204's at cubi point P.I. in may of 75, Our navy ch-46 det was there for 45 days and just returned from the Mayagues Incident .I talked with the army guys and helped getting them ready for shipment back to the states. Also going back on the ship were two Rh53d's that were shot up really bad from the Cambodia army.

Two of the C-130E's are alive and well today with the 711th SOS, 919th SOW at Eglin AFB AAF 3 aka Duke Field Florida. I always enjoyed getting on these two birds, wondering what secrets they could tell if able to talk.
64-506 is now listed as 62-1843 which had crashed and is with the 711th SOS at Duke Field Florida today.
64-507 is now listed as 63-7785 which exploded over South China Sea and is with the 711th SOS at Duke Field Florida today.
