How the North American T-28 Went From Trainer to Warbird

The aircraft saw combat in Vietnam.
Here s What You Need to Know: The T-28 practice aircraft became very useful in counter-insurgency.
When it entered service as a trainer in the early 1950s, few would have likely expected the North American Aviation T-28 Trojan to see use in a combat role. However, the piston-engine T-28 which was designed to replace the World War II era T-6 Texan trainer possessed such higher performance than its forerunner that it was employed as a counter-insurgency aircraft.
In its training role, the Trojan’s tricycle landing gear helped teach pilots to take off and land in the same fashion as the high-performance aircraft they were training to fly. The T-28 became the primary trainer for the United States Air Force, and was soon adopted by the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps. Even when the Air Force phased it out as the primary pilot training platform in the early 1960s, it continued to use it for limited training for special operations ai ....

How America's Old F-16 Viper Earned Its Name | The National Interest

The F-16 was born out of the conundrum experienced by the Air Force in the Vietnam War.
Here s What You Need to Remember: If the agile little fighter has any shortcomings, it’s that the American F-16’s radar has fallen out of date, and that the type was never designed to carry a great deal of fuel, limiting its combat radius to just 340 miles on internal stores.
The F-16 Fighting Falcon bears an unusual distinctions: it is one of the only top jet fighters in the world to also be cost efficient. Fast and extremely agile, the light fighter does have some shortcomings in range and payload compared to larger twin-engine fighters like the F-15 Eagle, but that was easy to forgive due to costing less than half as much around $18 million in 1999 ($27 million in 2017 dollars). This favorable bang-for-buck ratio has not been lost on air forces across the world the F-16 currently remains the most popular aircraft in modern military service: out of 4,500 produced, nearly 2,700 cu ....

Should the Pentagon Update the F-16 for Modern Warfare?

It’s still a deadly plane.
Here s What You Need to Remember: If the agile little fighter has any shortcomings, it’s that the American F-16’s radar has fallen out of date, and that the type was never designed to carry a great deal of fuel, limiting its combat radius to just 340 miles on internal stores. The Pentagon should eventually consider reasonable measures to keep that fleet up to date, notably the incorporation of APG-83 AESA radars and the adoption of conformal fuel tanks.
