SOME FACTS ABOUT THE T – 28C.
T-28C - US NAVY VERSION, A T-28B WITH TAILHOOK FOR DECK LANDING TRAINING. THE T-28C WAS BUILT FOR THE NAVY STARTING IN 1955. IT IS EQUIPPED WITH A TAIL HOOK, A SMALLER DIAMETER PROPELLER, AND OTHER MINOR CHANGES TO ALLOW AIRCRAFT CARRIER LANDINGS. 299 "C" MODELS WERE MANUFACTURED WITH PRODUCTION ENDING IN 1957.
