Phillip Vaitkus Interview

Filmed for the Aviation Heritage Center of Wisconsin, this is an interview I conducted with the son of the sixth man to fly across the Atlantic Ocean.

Flight of the T-28s

Director, Editor

It was clear skies on a mid-summer afternoon. I’d heard there were a group of T-28 Trojans at the Sheboygan airport making a stop on their way to Oshkosh for the airshow, thought I’d visit with my T6i DSLR camera. Before I knew, I was chatting with veteran aviators. They offered me to fly backseat while they practice their show routine. Everything thereafter was shot from the hip. I tried my best to get usable footage. All the while I was being filled with inspiration for shots and visual story elements for a future aerial warfare dream production. All I could think about during this flight was making a war movie, of a squadron of fighter bombers charging in at low-level on to their target, and how lucky I was to get the chance to fly with these professionals.
