Those are some pics I took this week end, for those stuck at the office dreaming of open space.:D

I was flying Nb2 in a VIC formation of 5 ships.
Nb1 is the leader
on his right, nb2 and nb3
on his left nb4 and nb5.


Going to SF, passing downtown L.A., view on nb 4(chilling back) and nb5.

Well ... when you are borred, you can get really close if you want. Then you wait for the lead to turn his head back and see him jump on his seat hehehe :D  I can't get enought of it.

We skytype in an front line formation. Here is how we look like, about 40ft from each other for the best result.

This is impossible.  I read on the intardnet that it's impossible for a pilot in flight to see anything behind a 180 degree arc from wing to wing.  :)

Between each pass, we go back in a VIC formation for maneuvering. Left turn above downtown SF with the GoldenGate in the background.

A reminder for HT on AH2. The sun reflecting on the water give a shiny gold surface ;)
