North American T-28 Trojan Trainer Aircraft, "Buckeye Chuck," U.S. Navy Bureau Number 138136, Static Display

A restored North American T-28 Trojan, painted in U.S. Navy training colors and marked "Buckeye Chuck," sits on display at a warbird gathering. Originally developed in the late 1940s as an advanced trainer for both the U.S. Air Force and Navy, the T-28 saw later service in counter-insurgency and forward air control roles during the Vietnam War era, making it a familiar sight to veterans of that conflict.
