The T-28 Trojan was a U.S. Navy military trainer aircraft with a piston engine. The Trojan was powerful and predictable, with excellent visibility and responsiveness which made it an ideal trainer. The "C" variant was built specifically for the Navy, with a tailhook, shorter propellers, and other modifications which allowed it to land on an aircraft carrier during deck landing training. Nearly 2,000 T-28s were built between 1950 and 1957, 299 of which were "C" models.
