Nice to see some out of the ordinary stuff! THANX a bunch, was pic #1 normal departure angle for a -28 or was this kid seconds away from a serious leveling out? :?

Those are great Rotorhead! I was just wishing the other day someone would post some photos of trainers, T-28's, Stearmans, anything while in military service. Thanks!
