I don't believe it. It may be a bogus post. I was at a fly-in this past weekend with a friend in his T-28. I talked to two other T-28 owners , and two I A's that maintain T-28's and there was no mention about it. I did talk to a T-34 owner that was bummed out about the 50 grand he has spent on wing mods and he said that all the T-34 guys are really bummed about what they have been through. He also mentioned that the last T-34 that went down had over 4,300 hours on it in the air combat role before it finally failed and he thought that was pretty good for any aircraft not designed for that role.

I have heard it rumored last spring that All old aircraft were being looked at by the FAA for similar fatigue related problems. the person that told me that indicated a discussion he had with the FAA, suggested they were going to look at the inspection process on some types of aircraft.

I have not heard anything about the -28, but the T-34, T-6 have had similar. The O2/337 has a 5000 hour spar inspection AD. I'm 600 hours out from that, and already starting to put away. My plane has 3200 hours of actual combat,bullet holes and who knows how many G's. The fleet is getting older, so I think it is just a function of age and the use of the aircraft

Oscar Duck has 400 hrs to go on his Oscar Duck. Current rate of flying that will be in 65 years time.. I must fly it more often methinks...!!!

Old age will catch up on all of us/them.
