Sten Svensson's newly acquired T-28B made its European airshow debut this weekend. It is based in the south of Sweden.

Nice Ride!

He's got the gun pods, does he have the gun column panel deal in the cockpit?

More pics please!

Thanks,
Orvis

She's a beauty! I guess there will be more US warbirds heading "across the pond" thanks to the weakness of the dollar. Nothing against our friends over there at all, mind you.

Thanks for sharing those great photos!

Very nice pictures. Interesting, this is the third T-28 I've seen in the past year wearing gun pods, and painted in the same VT-2 scheme, but of course different tail numbers. Thanks for posting.

Judging by your pictures I would hazard to say Ystad/Trelleborg area.

Thanks for your kind comments.

O.P. - Sten says he's got the gun panel but it's not installed.

warbirdcrew - the plane is actually based in Eslöv, but the pictures were shot further up the coast in Varberg

A very nice T-28!! But if that's a VT-2 scheme I'm Chuck Yeager :shock: :)
