T-28 in Abu Dhabi

Just watched the Formula 1 GP qualification, and this made me remember a photo of a restored T-28 flying out of Abu Dhabi. It was in either Warbirds Worldwide or Flypast years ago. Owned by an American if I'm not mistaken. Is there any T-28 guy or NATA member who can recall anything about this? Is the plane still there? Which one was it?

No record of a T-28 there with NATA, but the Saudis had T-28As, but that was years ago.

There was a gentleman by the name of Chris Miller ( not the same person with the Hawker Tempest ) That had a T-28B if I remember correctly. I recall selling him parts and such while it was going on. It would have been around the mid 90's if memory serves.

Chris Miller had a hangar and T-28 at stead field Reno, but I don't think it ever went there.

I worked in UAE Abu Dhabi for a year...general aviation presence is quite small. UAE might have had T-28 out at Al Ain where the UAE AF training facility is located.
