T-28 Trojans Warbirds Return to Sheboygan
The Aviation Heritage Center of Wisconsin (AHCW) and the local EAA chapter will be hosting
the return of the T-28 Trojan Warbirds at the Sheboygan County Airport the weekend of July
21-23 for the 14 th year. The powerful and fast post WWII ex-military T-28 Trojan Warbirds will
be practicing in preparation for their exhibition at the annual EAA Event in Oshkosh the
following week.
You can observe the “Gathering of Warbirds” and other aircraft activities from the Sheboygan
County Airport Balcony. Don’t miss this rare chance to experience, or let your children
experience and come to see the collection of warbirds up close and talk to the T-28 pilots that
maintain and fly them.
You can see and hear 18 of the Warbirds looking better than new. The aircraft are North
American Aviation T-28 Trojans that were built shortly after WWII. They powerful 1820 cubic
inch, 9- cylinder radial motor, produces 1425 hp. They were meant to be advanced trainers, to
prepare new pilots to fly fighter jets. A role the T-28 Trojans fulfilled well for nearly 40 years for
the U.S. Navy. But the military also found they were great fighter/bomber aircraft. The USAF
used them in Vietnam. The CIA used them in secret wars in Laos, Congo and other hot spots
around the world to fight the spread of communism.
While hearing the sounds and sights of multiple vintage radial warbirds taxi in and out and
flying overhead. You and your family can experience and get up close to the USAF T-33
Shooting Star Fighter exhibit at the center and be able to climb in a T-33 jet fighter cockpit.
In addition to the T-28 experience, adults and children will be able to climb inside actual USAF
T-37 and USAF T-28 training simulators, you can get in and (gently) grab the stick and throttles
to have your own TOP GUN experience!
The local EAA group has refurbish a T-28 as part of the Heritage Center Display and history.
The plane was one actually used by the CIA/Ravens to train Loa-Hmong pilots Laos to support
the U.S. Vietnam and Laos war effort.
The Aviation Heritage Center of Wisconsin will be offering tours of a rare 1941 Douglas DC-3 for
a small fee at limited times through the weekend.
