Formation flying in Frame 2
« on: December 10, 2011, 01:28:33 PM »
The 332nd Flying Mongrels have been working on our formation flying and it's paid off. We can actually hold position in a climbing turn! Now if we can just work on our shooting we could actually be dangerous!

Being able to control you aircraft is the first steep to being able to shoot.

The 325th VFG use to fly like that also.  then we found ourselves being shot down in formation so we changed that :)  The "mob" formation usually works better I think.

A very nice pic of a squad in formation and doing that takes a good amount of practice.  Again a very nice pic.  <S>
