Centennial of Naval Aviation 2011
-
February
12, 2011 - San Diego, CA
I had the privilege and great luck to be able to participate in one of the
most amazing aviation events of
my life in the parade of nearly 200 aircraft that passed
up the San Diego Bay on Saturday the 12th of February. Flying the Commemorative
Air Force Ryan PT-22, I was the first airplane in the parade that followed
the Blue Angels up the Bay. The weather was absolutely spectacular! You could
see all the way to Honolulu! I brought my wife Gini along to be the photographer
to document this truly Historic event and she got some great shots!
It is hard for me to describe the feelings of that day and flight, it is
one I will always remember!

PS:
For the history buffs, the Navy did operate 200 NR-1's, the Navy
version of the Army PT-22, all
at the then NAS Cecil field in Jacksonville, Fl. PPS: Gini's dad was a
Hell Cat pilot in WWII so this had some special meaning for
her too! |
