Spring is here. Time to learn a new skill. Just started to learn formation flying in my Grumman Tiger. Working with a group of other Grumman pilots, using the T-34 and FFI training procedures. I’m still a “nugget” (new guy).
This was one hell of a great weekend. I’ve still got a lot to learn with only a couple of flights under my belt so far. After so many years focusing on avoiding other aircraft, it’s quite a mental challenge joining up with other aircraft in flight. Requires lots of concentration and precise control, but the results are work it.
These guys are so far ahead of me….but I’ll get there.
Cheers!
I noticed that this is not the first time you mention the topic. Why have you decided to write about it again?
I’ve written a couple of posts about formation flying. I like it. Challenging, and we are a small fraternity (in the gender neutral sense) within the small fraternity of pilots.
Hi Brian,
Where can I find more information about Grumman formation group near my area? I am based on El Monte (KEMT) in So. Cal.
Thanks,
Robin Hou
Hi Robin,
Sorry for the delay. I need to get back to posting on my blog. I see that you already connected with Wolfgang on the GG. So maybe I’ll see you in Madera.
Cheers! Brian
