The North American T-28C Trojan is the U.S. Navy’s carrier-capable version of the legendary radial-engine advanced trainer, developed to replace the AT-6 Texan and prepare pilots for combat aircraft. Powered by a 1,425-horsepower Wright R-1820 radial engine, the T-28C features a tailhook, shortened propeller blades, and strengthened airframe for arrested landings, serving as a rugged transition trainer from the 1950s through the early 1980s.
