Formation Warbird Trainers in Climbing Turn with Smoke Trails, Airshow, June 7, 2014
Two vintage radial-engine trainer aircraft perform a smoke-trailing formation climb during a 2014 airshow. Aircraft of this type, widely used for advanced pilot training in the World War II and Korean War eras, remain popular fixtures of the civilian warbird airshow circuit, where they honor the training pipeline that produced generations of American military aviators.
