The T-28B was originally developed as a U.S. Navy basic trainer and completed its maiden flight on 6 April 1953. Nearly 500 were built. Early models of the Trojan were tested at Edwards beginning shortly after the plane's first flight in 1949. A later version - the YAT-28-powered by a turbo-prop engine, was tested at Edwards in the early 1960s. In 1966, the U.S. Army brought four T-28B's to Edwards AFB to serve as chase planes for the Lockheed AH-56 Cheyenne helicopter test program.| HM Number | HM17VY |
