| "Shooter" ![]() | Up in the air with the T-28s I had the incredible privilege to fly today with Rebel Flight. These guys used to fly T-28s every Saturday, but have all kind of drifted apart. Today, they came together for a photo shoot. These guys were awesome! Here are some samples from today's shoot. |

| "Shooter" ![]() | Thanks guys. Joe, did you notice the G meter? Yeah, we had a blast! And no, Lee, I won't ever forget this one. Good group of guys doing some great formations, tucked in tight. And by the way, I am also an honorary member of Rebel Flight with the callsign "Shooter". For the photo flight our plane callsign was "Kodak". |

| "Shooter" ![]() | Thanks again guys. I was telling my wife that 5 years ago, I would have given my left nut to get an opportunity to take pictures like that. Now, I have, and didn't have to give up a testicle to do it! ![]() It was a couple of years in the making and it was made even more special by the fact that these guys may never be flying again together. |

| I'm there already Eric, flight two, page two, shot 14. Could you apologise to your pilot next time you see him please. I could'nt help for dribbling down his neck, thats a brillant captivation of being aboard. Best series of T28 shots Iv'e seen. Thanks for the pleasure of seeing them. |

| "Shooter" ![]() | Thanks Lee! I not only wanted to capture the guys in formations, but what it felt like to be in the rear seat. I'm sure Don wouldn't mind a little drool. He was a Skyraider pilot in Vietnam, I'm sure he's had worse! |
