Welcome to the Home Page for the
T-28 Instrumented Research Aircraft
The T-28 storm penetrating aircraft was acquired by the Institute of
Atmospheric Sciences in 1969 for use in hail studies and weather modification
research. A formal Cooperative Agreement to operate as a National Science
Foundation facility was formed in 1987. The T-28 was retired from active
duty in 2005; however, plans are underway to acquire a new storm penetrating
aircraft to replace it. Data acquired from various T-28 deployments are still
being used in research studies today, and an archive of this data has been
created.
