| The aircraft love of my life is this
BAC T5A Jet Provost, "Puer Exuberans".
What a great flying machine!
Straight-wing jet aircraft do such sweet and smooth aerobatics
that after hundreds of rolls and loops, I still can't believe it.
This is an aft view at sunset at Santa Fe airport.

| Shock wave!
