Well...wasn't expecting this today!

Dubuque Regional Airport is hosting the NATA's armada of T-28's and T-6's. They are here practicing their formation flying for their mass fly-in into Oshkosh. In total there is probably close to 100 aircraft on the field. I had been working out in the hot sun for about 4 hours and decided to step inside the hanger to listen in on a briefing. Before long I was being asked if I wanted to tag along with 25 other T-6's that were going up to practice formation flight. The next thing you know it I'm strapping on a parachute and sitting in a 63 year old T-6 Texan. The flight lasted a little over 30 mintues in various positions with the other aircraft. What an experience...I'll never forget it!

Hi...thanks for the photos, that's an added bonus. Pays to work hard.
I am headed up to Osh Kosh today, so I'll keep my eyes out for them.
