Description

Airshow/Fly-In Arlington, Washington. Here we have a father and son aerobatic team performing what they called a "Double Helix" maneuver. The son was barrel rolling his airplane to the right, while the father barrel rolled his airplane to the left...over and over and over...most impressive as they passed over the airfield together leaving a corkscrew smoke pattern after them. The son is flying the red Yak 55 (left side of photo) while the father is flying the white Yak 18 (right side of photo). There were a lot of aerobatics flown...we thought this duo was the best. More to come... Bill:) "Wheeeeee, a Lomcovak ~ for Chip (chipka)"

Wow oh wow! This is excellent! I loved your previous one and write up for Chip too, but this one is out of this world good! The composition with the clouds, the positions of the planes, the clarity and the smoke is fantastic! (Crap, I'm gushing, but this is really good!)
