An interesting story is that the T-28 also the first fighter aircraft of the communist North Vietnamese was. How so?

In 1963, Lieutenant Chert Saibory, a Thai pilot, defected to North Vietnam aboard his Royal Laotian Air Force (RVNAF) T-28.

The aircraft was overhauled and deployed as the North Vietnamese Air Force's first combat aircraft. Lieutenant Saibory trained Nguyen Van Ba, who scored the NVAF's first aerial victory on February 15, 1964, against a South Vietnamese Air Force (RVNAF) C-123 Provider.

On the other hand, the T-28 was used by the South Vietnamese Air Force (RVNAF) to support ground operations and also played a role in the Secret War in Laos. The T-28 was also used in combat missions by the CIA in the Belgian Congo, against the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, and in Algeria.
