Wild Cargo Rotation by timerskine

Wild Cargo Rotation

This is the Military Aviation Museum's North American B-25 Mitchell bomber. It's named "Wild Cargo" (for the story of how it got the name, click here). It is taking off for an airshow in Michigan. I was fortunate enough to have been at the exact right place at the west end of the Museum after helping with a tour to get this shot as the plane began to rotate...its nose wheel coming up off the ground and about to move skyward.
I've often wondered why it's called 'rotate' when an aircraft reaches this point. (BTW the link for the naming site didn't work for me)
