Back seat driver. The rudder pedals are a giveaway.

[chimbu warrior]

Bob, that is a T-28. Not only the rudder pedals are a giveaway, but the ASI (max 340 KIAS).

Great machine!

75 inches of mp - is that ever likely to be seen or is it one of those gauges that has a scale that goes way over what is realistically possible? Like the VSI on a 152 going over 500 fpm!
