Photo of the Week: T-28 Blue Angels Trainer

This was a shot I took at the Kalamazoo Air Museum (the Air Zoo) back on July 12th, 2002. I was there visiting the museum with some friends when they announced a special demonstration flight. We headed out to the tarmac in time to see them preparing this old T-28 Trojan used by the Blue Angels back in the 1950's for team training. It was quite a sight to see this vintage war bird fired up, take off and perform a few maneuvers for the crowd. What can I saw, I like aviation!
