T-28 vs 'Phantom'
Gentleman Aviator
Reminds me of the oft-told tale from the Falklands. A bar bet between Chinook and F-4 as to fastest time "brakes off to 10,000ft". F-4s were bragging, so Chinook mates say "We could beat that!"
Chinook took off, leaving brakes on. Brakes off at 9,950ft - game set and match to 78 Sqn!!

Crunch your own numbers folk, lot of assumptions necessary, configuration, AUW, drag index, average temp Pensacola 26°C. 
It does seem doubtful, closer than I thought though with the assumptions I made.
