The designation for this plane when it was at Saufley Field was (Double nuts). It was Commander Lee’s favorite plane to fly. He could have got anyone to fly with him so he could keep his Flight time records up so he picked someone that was around him at the time. He was a great Commander, everyone liked him.
Did a great job cleaning the old plane up, it never looked that good.
Thank you for the picture.

Neat picture. It’s amazing that T-28 was preserved at the museum. I was stationed at Pensacola in the weather service, and my Asst. Div. Officer, Lt. Ron Moore was in a similar situation. Lt. Moore was from Flint, Michigan and I was from Detroit suburb, and flew home with him rear seat in a T28 several times. What a thrilling experience for a young airmen. Was your T-28 painted in that color scheme when in service? Our T-28 trainers were all yellow. This in was around 1958/59. I transferred aboard an aircraft carrier in Norfolk after Pensacola.
