Narrative:
I was receiving instruction to get an experimental type certificate in the T-28. I had done 4 full stop landings in the airplane without instructor intervention. After the takeoff; I turned left crosswind. I added speed brake; and the instructor then asked for control of the airplane. He replied 'I have control of the airplane.' he then added full flaps to slow the plane down. He explained that he wanted to show me a tight military type approach to land. We approached the runway xx numbers at 750 feet. AGL; and the plane still had a lot of speed. I asked the instructor if he could see the runway; and he said yes. After still being 250 feet. AGL at the midway point of runway xx; I said 'go around! Go around!.' as I reached for the throttle; we hit the runway with approximately 750 feet left until the end of the runway. The gear was not deployed. After the plane stopped its skid down the runway; I started shutting the systems down. I recognized that the gear handle was in the up locked position. There were no injuries. In my opinion; this could have been avoided. As a student; I allowed the attempted landing to continue even though I remember feeling scared and concerned that we were going to crash. My instructor was xx years old; and age was a factor. CFI's should have to have additional requirements beyond a BFR. These high performance airplanes should require some age reoccurring training as well.

Title: T28 student pilot reported instructor performed an unstabilized approach and landed with the gear up.
Narrative: I was receiving instruction to get an experimental type certificate in the T-28. I had done 4 full stop landings in the airplane without instructor intervention. After the takeoff; I turned left crosswind. I added speed brake; and the instructor then asked for control of the airplane. He replied 'I have control of the airplane.' He then added full flaps to slow the plane down. He explained that he wanted to show me a tight military type approach to land. We approached the Runway XX numbers at 750 feet. AGL; and the plane still had a lot of speed. I asked the instructor if he could see the runway; and he said yes. After still being 250 feet. AGL at the midway point of Runway XX; I said 'Go Around! Go around!.' As I reached for the throttle; we hit the runway with approximately 750 feet left until the end of the runway. The gear was not deployed. After the plane stopped its skid down the runway; I started shutting the systems down. I recognized that the gear handle was in the up locked position. There were no injuries. In my opinion; this could have been avoided. As a student; I allowed the attempted landing to continue even though I remember feeling scared and concerned that we were going to crash. My instructor was XX years old; and age was a factor. CFI's should have to have additional requirements beyond a BFR.
