Restauration T-28B "Trojan"

A warbird undergoes minor surgery.

With the T-28B, Sigi Angerer fulfilled a dream he had cherished for more than 20 years. In 1954, at the beginning of her career, the Trojan was used as a trainer aircraft by the US Navy. After being phased out of training, the aircraft was sold to a private owner and restored. In the 1980s, she was spotted by Sigi Angerer, today?s chief pilot of the Flying Bulls, and brought to Austria. Since then, the T-28B has been considered one of the founding members of the Flying Bulls. This also entails certain obligations, such as putting in much-acclaimed appearances at air shows. A few dents and dings are to be expected after 20 years of aerobatics, so the T-28B will now be placed into the expert care of the Flying Bulls? technical team to be restored to her former beauty. At the end of the year, she will be fully recovered and ready to show her younger colleagues once again what a ?Trojan loop? really is.
