This photo storybook is told in the words of Michael, a world famous stunt plane pilot, who tells about performing in an air show with the U.S. Navy Blue Angels, showing thrilling color photos of all the action. You'll find out how a stunt plane is made easy to maneuver and can fly upside down. You'll see how the pilot prepares himself and plans his stunts. You'll read how the pilot feels as he lifts the plane up, falls backwards into a tail slide, and performs loops and spins in his inverted plane. Exciting words and photos tell the story of how he flies in formation with the Blue Angels, how he stays focused for back-to-back stunts, and how he gets close enough to wave good-bye to the watching crowd. Young readers will want to read and re-read this adventure, and closely examine all the details in the brilliant color photos. The Lucasville Legends books are designed to capture the imagination of readers from second grade to high school, using features proven to engage reluctant readers.
