At Okeechobee Florida airport in a 1951 North American T-28 A, Curtiss Wright R1300 800hp with the Hamilton Standard 23D40 prop. Running up the engine after changing to the Tempest spark plugs, later we changed the oil.

We use to call these (in the USAF) T-28's "Flyin' John Deere's".....Sounded much like a 2 cylinder Deere...

I flew the A model at Randolph AFB back in 1965. Slow to climb but cruised at 160 or so its. Always remember how docile it was -- spins 3 turns with quick and easy recovery. Flaps were like barn doors.

Seriously? Only 200ish views? Great vid!!! Thanks. This is T28A right? as far as I know it has 2 blades? The B/C and D has three. Correct me

We had just changed the oil, fixed a fuel leak, we were both covered in oil, tons of fun! Yes this is an A model, the original, in the 50's they had a two bladed Aeroproducts steel prop. Most now have been converted to a three bladed Ham Std Hydromatic aluminum prop. No harmonic vibrations.

The R-1300 has a 40 spline shaft?

Johnny, how would you compare performance with the 3 blade prop vs the 2 blade? You already answered an important question about the harmonic vibration problem with the 2 blade. I remember the T-28A used to have some RPM ranges you had to avoid with the 2 blade...going back many years ago. From the video it looks like you have one of the later A models with the B style canopy and higher fuel capacity. You know you have one of the finest flying recip airplanes ever built. The Navy needed more power for flight deck ops but the Air Force instructors in the T-28A really liked that airplane as it is with the R-1300.

The engine looks somewhat forlorn on the big airframe. What about the flying characteristics, is it nice to fly despite the smaller engine?

Interesting how much down angle there is on the engine.

You better hope their is no hydraulic lock, cranking it with the starter like that!

Is that really a Fram PH8A oil filter on a vintage warbird??? I see this video is from 2013, but even then, the internet was awash with comments disparaging the Fram orange can of death. So much so that people wouldn't even trust that filter on their 15hp riding mower.
