Not Your Average Trojan

Sat Jan 09, 2021 1:00 pm

Some of you may be curious to see that Rob Dulaney has listed his Hamilton T-28R-2, N28DS, for sale on Barnstormers. I believe she used to race at Reno as "The Bear" in the 80's and 90's.

For shorts changing, watch some of the videos shot from N10WX.....

Didn't even realize the old girl was being restored until today!

I believe this is 28DS in 1983. It was enthusiastically raced for a couple of years in the very early 1980s by Dwight Reimer after Dwight sold his well known A-26 "Cotton Jenny". It was not called "The Bear" til much later. Is this airplane in the Registry here?

‘The Bear’ is N137NA, a different airplane to the one from the one advertised on Barnstormers.

Thanks, Mike.

My first mistake of the year: Trust the internet.

WIXers, my apologies for any confusion. N28DS is still a pretty cool bird.

I thought the Skyraider was supposed to leak oil like a sieve. By the looks of the floor in the T-Hangar the T-28 isn't too far behind. It appears that they had to buy out all of the kitty litter in all of the pet stores & supermarkets in the local area.

A friend of mine that once owned one of each, told me if you want to learn to fly, buy a T-6. If you want to learn to be a mechanic, buy a T-28.
