VLA observations of the radio galaxy 3C 288 at 1.5, 4.9, and 15 GHz are presented. The features revealed in the data include a jet and counterjet near the radio core and faint wings of emission connected to the elongated lobes. The results suggest that the host galaxy is probably the dominant member of a distant cluster. It is found that the larger-scale structure of 3C 288 may be an example of a disturbed secondary-flow pattern. 58 references.
