Hi All,
Yes, Steve is correct - it was a takeoff and they were doing a formation takeoff with the PT-26 in the number 2 slot. Lorén took the shot primarily for the photog in the back seat of the BT-13 and only noticed the pilot position when processing the image to post. I took a few shots of the pilot/owner Hunter "Hurricane" Reiley getting the photog settled in and heading out for the shoot. I was roaming the warbird trainer parking area and she was posted on the E/W Runway that morning.
Here are a few more images from Mrs VB's site of the BT-13/PT-26 takeoff sequence:
Here are a few of my shots from the Friday:
Anyone know WHO the backseat photog is? I imagine he'd enjoy a copy of the images!
Heres a shot of the PT-26 Pilot Mark Howard getting PT-26 #70 N9279H prepped for the flight:
