The Trojan Phlyers own and operate three T-28B aircraft. Two of the three aircraft were used by the US Navy here stateside as primary flight trainers. These aircraft were used to teach Naval aviators basic transition, formation, aerobatic, and instrument procedures. The third aircraft was used in combat in Laos by the Royal Laotian Air Force, whose most famous fighter pilot, Lee Lu, flew over 5000 combat missions. This aircraft was recovered and restored by the Trojan Phlyers several years ago, and comes complete with several patched over bullet holes.

            All three Trojan Phlyer aircraft have a Wright Cyclone R1820-86A nine-cylinder radial engine with 1425 horsepower at full throttle. The aircraft can takeoff on less than 800 feet of runway, climb to 10,000 feet in less than 90 seconds, race level above 335 mph, and dive above 380 mph. In fact, the T-28 can outperform most WWII fighters at low altitude.
