Keesler Military Assistance Program Training

This is a post card I found on eBay. On the back it says, North American T-28 Trojan aircraft are used to train pilots from foreign countries in the USAF Pilot Training School at Keesler AFB, Biloxi, Miss. It looks HOT! The 0- numbers mean they had been rebuilt? 51-7674 and 51-7729

I am retired USAF. In 1965 I was assigned to Randolph AFB in the helicopter training program the first part of which was training in the T-28. We trained along with the Vietnamese -- they were in a separate squadron. I remember the ac well -- slow to climb to 10,000 ft with it's 805 hp Wright 7 cyl radial. They claimed that the extra 5hp came from the exhaust.
