North American T28BSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1950s-era North American T28B (N228NA) presents as a well-maintained warbird with significant modern avionics upgrades while retaining its authentic military heritage. The airframe shows 12,490 total hours with a Wright Cyclone R-1820-86B engine showing 379 hours since major overhaul by Cascade Engine Service, coupled with Albatross 6101A-7 propeller blades. The aircraft underwent a comprehensive $94,000 avionics modernization including dual Garmin G3X touchscreen systems (front and rear cockpits), GTN 650 GPS/NAV/COM, GTX 345 ADS-B transponder, and a complete GEA-24 engine monitoring system - all while maintaining IFR certification as of March 2025.

Notable operational enhancements include a 150lb weight reduction from inverter/AC system removal, Cleveland brakes, smoke system, and functional combustion heater. The aircraft retains its original Whiting Field naval training scheme in white and orange, complete with Navy logbooks. Maintenance highlights include a May 2025 annual inspection, 2024 starter/prop governor IRAN, oil cooler overhaul, and an AD-compliant propeller with next inspection due November 2028. The package includes military-style equipment such as Butler seat pack parachutes, Hooker harnesses, and a functional backup oxygen system. With its 1,425hp radial engine and modernized systems, this T28B bridges vintage warbird appeal with contemporary reliability.
