Mike -

I was just looking through the TX Warbird Locator site; on Corpus Christi NAS, the T-28 that was located at the Consolidated Club (former O-Club) has been gone for a couple of years now - along with the T-28 located just outside of the North Gate.

No idea what happened to those two. :(

So that isn't a T-6? It looks like the right shape for a T-6. Not quite big enough nose for a T-28 I think. Comments?

Mike,

It's a T-28A. Trust me. I drive by it twice a day, to and from work (as well as the BT-13, EC-47, B-25, and RF-4C).... :)

I like that kind of eye witness account. Helps make the Locator rock solid. Thanks.

Is there a T-6 at Goodfellow anywhere?

Mike

Mike,

There is a T-28B (140046) outside the "Bay Club" at NAS Corpus Christi.
(Drank/ate in the Bay Club a couple of times whilst attending NAS Corpus Christi Airshow with Cavanaugh this last weekend).

Aircraft faces south, and its co-ordinates are:

27.41.43.59N 97.15.28.05W

(Does not show on the sat picture. "Bay Club" is the building with the red roof.)
