One of the museum's other two T-28 is parked behind a museum banner. Once decals are applied to the newly-built plane, it will look the same as the one shown here.

In less than three weeks, volunteers pieced together an entire plane from parts. The T-28 has a rich history -- it flew in both the U.S. and Cambodian militaries.
