T 28. Flight Restrictions

Post by trey kule »

Can anyone point me to the CARs or other legislation to determine if there are any restrictions to owning or flying one of these in Canada?

There are ten T28 Trojans registered on the Canadian civil register.

Eight have their eligibility for registration listed as
"CAR Standard 507.03(5)(a) Aircraft Held a Flight Permit - Private Aircraft prior 01/89 -"

and two (C-GTLW and C-GKKD both in Springbank, Alberta) as
"CAR Standard 507.03 (5)(b) - Ex-military Aircraft"

That would be a good place to start reading. The owners are listed on the register too, they could probably give you a lot of info.

If I am not mistaken, there is one (either itinerant or based) out of Parry Sound last I was in there. Was privately registered too.

GKKD was lost this summer along with its owner/pilot Bruce Evans at Cold Lake.

Definitely talk to Vintage Wings (which I am sure you already thought of)

There have been at least 7 T-28s in the Vancouver area over the past few years but Mother Nature has a way of take toll on both men and machines. I've flown 2 of these Privately registered aircraft and they are a handful...until you get familiar with them.

The guys a t VWoC don't have that much exposure to T-28's. Only really visiting aircraft. That said PM me I know a guy that maintains one out west.

G'day

"There are three of them now in Virginia, Vancouver and Everett. "

There is another one being rebuilt in New Zealand as we speak. So hopefully in the next few years there will be four flying.

Cheers...Chris
