Forum rules
This is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum. Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.). Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so. |

Re: Formation topic
I found some old slides and couldn't find the time to procers them earlier.
Back in the mid-'90's when I flew with the "Vliegclub Rotterdam" there was a group of people flying in formation on the early sunday mornings. I jointed them once and even flew with them (pilot flying) finding out how difficult it was to maintain formation. I can tell from first hand that you follow the lane next to you and even don't notice that your flying with 135 degrees bank.
1. EHRD in tyhe early hours
2.Joining up after take-off
3. Closing in
4. Vic formation, number 3
5. and how close this is.
6. Line astern: if you don't pay notice you clip the frontrunners tail.
7. Banking left
8. and right
