Thanks Chris, I have PM'd Eric but as he has not been active on this forum for some years I am a little concerned he will not receive my request. I have also sent a request through Airplane-pictures.net where another version of his image is hosted, no replies yet but I have my fingers crossed. They are awsome photos and he obviously loved his work.

G'day Aviation Photographers of Southern California.  Can anyone provide some guidance as to how I might be able to get a high resolution image file of one of the beautiful T-28 Trojan's photos posted by Eric Van Gilder on this thread?  I am in Sydney, Australia and a retired member of the Royal Australian Air Force (though I was seconded into the USAF for a short while at Sacramento) and I would like to frame one of these images to give to an old friend. As I have registered on your forum, I think you can email me.  Thank you
Click on his profile and PM him about it.

My 3rd favorite warbird. The Trojan. I only see T-28's at Airshows or when I visit the Planes of Fame Air Museum. Santa Monica used to have them when the Museum of Flying was in business. It has the same engine as the SBD Dauntless and the FM-2 Wildcat.

Here are a few from the Warbirds West T-28/T-34 fly in back in November.  I loved the Navy blue T-28.

Here was Warbirds West T-28, and standing in front is Retired Brig General Robert Cardenas.  If you ever get the chance to hear him talk it's well worth it

If I could afford a warbird, I would want one of these. They aren't cheap and are brutish looking on the ground, but holy moly what a fun airplane! Fast, beefy and a roomy cockpit for a warbird, the Trojan is also heavy enough where turbulence isn't as much of a factor as it is in smaller trainers.

One of my favorite shots of any I have taken, and my favorite T-28 shot


Setting the bar a little high for us common folk, arent ya Eric? J/K.....kinda

Great collection there man <rocker>

I think this is a neat plane, and one day i hope to get to ride in the back seat.  Sometimes when I'm board at work, I go to the Courtesy Aircraft page and see how I could pull off buying one of these planes.  I've seen them in good shape for $175,000....To dream at work can make for a long day...

Was this taken this weekend.  One of the PT-22 pilots said there was going to be a gathering of Ryan's and Stearman's this past weekend at Cable.

Cheers Fernando. I had always liked the T-28 when I saw them from the ground, but after my first flight, I was hooked! It was love at first flight.
