Winter Takes Flight

摘要

THERE'S A SAYING, "When it snows, you have two choices: shovel or make snow angels." If you're a pilot, you have a third option: taking to the skies for an angel's-eye view. That includes the pilots from Minnesota and Wisconsin who are members of the T-6 Thunder North American Flight Team, which performs formation flyovers with their World War II-era training aircraft. Photographer Max Haynes captured an image (opposite, top) of two of the T-6s (the blue one is a U.S. Navy SNJ variant) as they flew above the frozen fields of Minnesota during what he described as a relatively warm winter day in a state that has the 10 coldest counties in the contiguous United States.
