Some of my best friends fly T28's.
Some terrific formation-qualified pilots IMHO fly T28's.
I am not snob - love all warbirds, especially piston engine a/c, and really like all the people that preserve them so we can enjoy them.
Just very sorry that some people on this forum, thankfully a minority, forget that this is called an "information" exchange, not an insult exchange.

Beachy, they sound pretty good from inside. And they are a blast to fly !

That's what I've heard, Rick, but ya gotta remember how partial I am to the T-6!!!
Anyway, we hit 60 outdoors today, so I guess that counts as a nice autumn day up here!!!! UGH!!!

I did not mean to hurt any T-28 guys feelings, I never realized they were so fragile. I wrote an apology, but it went on WIX as a new topic.

What are you people talking about? It's 80 in the shade. On yesterdays dig I pulled my boots off, and wiggled my toes int he sun, and drank a coke. By the time I was finished my toes were sunburned.
Just thought I would rub it in.

Jack,
Then that must make the T-28A a low powered washing machine!
Beachy,
It's warm and sunny down here, but you'd have to put up with Mustangs!

I don’t know how this started, but T-28s (and radial engines) became a kind of punch line around here. Actually, I think it’s kind of funny.
Note my signature below. I have my fingers in a T-28 project, and the “Oil Dri User” / "T-28 Cooties" animated signature is something I did from a picture of the DGA in my hangar (while sitting in a hotel room with nothing better to do).

Hey T28Guy, us diehards around these parts have been listening to that for a long time baby. Don't let it get to you.
No offense to anyone here, but, T28Guy, most of our buds here haven't rode in a Mustang/Spitfire/T-6/F-18/Everlasting Gobbstopper 10000/or Whatever, let alone, God's own Airplane, The NAA T28 in any of it's glorious forms.
They've never been the biggest single engined airplane on the ramp.
They never did 250 knot passes in front of the adoring crowd that loves only you.
They never said, "You wanna go up and look?" Just to see how much oil they will get on their "Airshow Clothes".
They never said "You wanna go up and look" to the hot Milf, because that first step up is a big one, and it is always good, especially if she is wearing a skirt. The second step is actually better.
They never had a cargo compartment that could hold all of the guns and weed you'll need for a good weekend in Nevada, or, Detroit.
They never had a cold start, to much prime, gigante, backfire that set off car alarms two miles away.
They don't know that 7500 pounds and 1425 horsepower, modern landing gear, and giant tail means you are always centerline, and get to land everytime, regardless of that nasty anti taildragger pesky/superbummer wind.
They don't know the joy produced to you by FBO folks complaining about the giant pool of oil left in the hangar since last saturday.
So T28Guy, don't let the unwashed masses get you down. They are barbarians and probably don't brush their teeth or wipe afterwords. Thats why they are always loud, and upset, and smell like perfume.
They'll come over to the Dark Side, it's only a matter of time.
(Edited to say that Eric D and the Skyraider Trumps this. Man that is a big airplane, lotta oil, and plenty of room for weed and guns! That'll be my second ride when I grow up!)

I've risked life and limb in three of 'em! One being an A and it's been 25 years since I've sat in one. (I'm a fast learner)
I've even scraped one up off of a golf course!!:shock:
