RatFlight Two-Ship Departure

[ChiefPilot]

Wiki (lead) and Polack (wing) departed today for a great formation flight that included fingertip, breakups, and rejoins as well as scissors, yo-yos, rollers, and more. The air was smooth, and the well-below-freezing temperatures provided extra performance which made the day even more fun.

Days like this - days exactly like this - are why I built my RV!

Aren’t scissors and rollers anti-formation flying?

Sounds like fun though, I like the paint scheme on lead’s plane!

They tend to happen during Better Formation Math (BFM) / Aerial Coordination Mechanisms (ACM). Lots of fun

And the Pretend-a-stang is a neat bird for sure.
