T-28 Service Life Evaluation.

Abstract

In this report a meeting at NARF-Pensacola on the NIFTS program is briefly reviewed, wind lug crack propagation test results are re-evaluated to determine maximum periods between NDI inspections, and procedures for evaluation of T-28B/C service lives are revised per previous discussions with NADC personnel. In addition, the report presents a statistical summary of T-28B/C landing data and an evaluation of recent USAF full scale fatigue tests on a T-28D-5 airplane in terms of Navy T-28 operations.
