Flying over Santa Rosa, California, during the Wings
Over Wine Country Air Show, owner Steve Scott, along with help from Mike
Repas, spent eleven years modifying his T-28A Trojan into a T-28D-5.
Along with the installation of the larger Wright R-1820 nine-cylinder
engine, the wings were replaced with armament modified wings, the tail
strengthened and pylons and rocket tubes added. The nose art on the side
of the cowl shows a raven holding a shredded South Viet Nam flag and the
quote "Never More" paying tribute to the Ravens who flew these aircraft
in Laos and recognizing that South Viet Nam ceased to exist and
expressing the hope that we will have no more wars like Viet Nam. |
