    I spend several hours a year with my Cyclo dual head polisher, then after every flight I normally wipe it down by hand.

    which T-28 is that? The one at the Military Aviation Museum here in Norfolk (Chesapeake technically) has the long bladed prop. They don't fly it, because their grass strip is bouncy enough that they worry about prop strike with the ground. Your blades look not as long...

    That is one of two owned by Trojan Phlyers. Both our planes are T-28B models, the Navy version. This one, #27, has a standard B model propeller. The other, #26, has a Tracker prop "reprofiled" for use on a T-28, and that prop is longer, but I can't recall how much longer.

    First they took away our napalm and now they are trying to take away our cluster bombs. Glad I am retired.

    A nice flying airplane. Hard to get used to seeing a fuselage built of aluminum angle extrusions, though. Triggered one of my favorite student flyer jokes. A cadet called into his base that he had engine trouble and had to make an emergency landing . Two instructors were dispatched in a similar airplane to pick up the student and get his airplane back to base. They made two unsuccessful attempts to land in the field where he and his airplane were. They finally had to land in a field nearby and walked to where the student waited for them. They asked him how he possibly could have made a landing in this field when they couldn't. His answer. " I didn't land in this field. I landed in that field across the road and bounced into this one."

    In the spring of 1956 at the Naval Academy, the Yellow Perils were still being used for exposing the midshipmen to the wonderful world of aviation. What I recall most specifically was the difficulty in visually determining altitude from the wave heights in the Chesapeake. I also recall the method of communication was via a gosport tube to my helmet.
