What a terrible shame that the weather changed overnight. It would have been a glorious flight if the weather had been like it was on Friday morning.

 

OME

Nice video Tomo. Good close echelon formation.

Actually we had a bigger motor in the 172 we were in. Which made it a little more interesting.

The last time I was involved there were chipmunks a 172 and a Beech A-36. There's no harm in running with the flaps out on the faster planes, especially when there is plenty of power available. You need it when you are on the outside of a turn. It can be hard work. ( I'm not a great fan of formation flying, you might have noticed). I had a Comper Swift do a barrel roll around me when I was on my first solo cross country. Haven't been the same since. Ha Ha.. Nev

Never would have guessed Nev !!

Makes it much easier having the more powerful engine when you are the following aircraft - specially on the outside of turns with multiple aircraft. Got to watch it when leading though.
