Aerobatic practice runs on May 26, 2000,
prior to airshow at Millville Army Airport Museum at Millville, NJ Airport:
The day before the airshow was clear and beautiful; the show was to
run 2 days, Saturday May 27 & Sunday the 28th. Most of the Saturday
show's events, including a Stealth fighter fly-by, were rained out. So
we were really lucky to see these practice runs the day before. We're
told that Sunday was better, but we couldn't make it.
A Russian-Czech YAK-55 does an inverted spin; the smoke comes from
a special generator used for displays at airshows. The pilot, Drew Hurley,
did a total of 16 spirals in this maneuver.
