The following information comes from JTF-FA via Byron Hukee. It covers only those T-28s lost in combat by the USAF. Losses by the VNAF, Lao, Khmer, and Air America may be included as are some Hurlburt training losses due to the nature of Special Operations. Gene Rossell and Charlie Brown have also furnished some data. Any editing errors are mine alone so please let me know if you find them.
