Can anyone ID for me the training aircraft in the following photos that I have in my collection.





Thanks in advance.

On a hunch, since it looks vaguely T-28ish and there are a bunch of Navions in the background, I did some Googling around. It appears to be one of the two prototypes of the North American XSN2J, a proposed Naval trainer.

More info here: http://www.edcoatescollection.com/ac6/North%20American%20XSN2J-1.html

Here's a photo that apparently shows the carcass of one of the prototypes ca. 1994: http://www.aero-web.org/database/aircraft/getimage.htm?id=826

That was my thought...........someone tried to do the right thing with the T-28 design

XSN2J, they liked the design, but wanted a nose gear, so it became the T-28.

I hope the guy on the ground is warning them of the paper tags taped on the prop and blades.
Probably an OSHA Warning.
