When I was out on Summer Tour with the B-17 my PIC kept talking about a T-28 that he flew back home.  Well, here it is!  Seen here at Coolidge Municipal Airport (P08) after a belly landing.  You can see damage to the prop, flaps, and nose gear door.  My friend, RZ "Taz" Blue, was in the backseat at the time.  Both pilots are ok.

This is the same T-28 seen in Dave Loera's photo from Copperstate 2009.

The guy in the backseat is Bob Blue, he was my PIC when I was out with Sentimental Journey last September.  Good guy, and a great pilot!!
