Title: RV-8 club!
Post by: saantana on July 23, 2008, 04:54:14 PM
A concept was brought up about forming an RV-8 club that would fly in the TA, specializing in formation flying with color smoke on. Purely for fun and fine tuning formation flying ability. Would have a set day and time.
The question is, would there be supporters?

I remember being there when this was brought up.

I might support the idea, just depends on the time that the squad flies.

Time would be set to allow most willing participants to take part.
Probably a late hour weekend, EST time.

I'm in.  Seeing formation flying in airshows I've always thought about an AH aerobatic team.

Would said Rv-8 club fly primarily at 30k? If not, I'm not joining.  :D

I'd think it would be 100ft ~ 3k. Whose starting now?  :D

Looks like this might pick up some speed.
Thank you for your replies

I liked flying them in the MA when available as target practice for the nmy.  When the new map came out and they were still enabled, had a lot of fun flying over bases, counted 12 planes trying to shoot me down.  It's a great way to work on SA.  I'm in.

I like the idea. I just don't know how often I'll be able to do it though.  Count me out for now, but I'll probably be back.

Rogo guys.
I'm counting 7 guys and probably more when it gets started. That is more than enough for now, however anybody still wishing to participate is still welcome.
A site will be up soon with its own forum. I took your ID's down and when theres a link I will PM it to you. Soon meaning a couple of days. It's a very fresh idea.

Looking forward to it.

I'm in.

PLEASE make it no later than 8:00 PM Eastern, cause I need to try and get back to a less insane sleep pattern...and also, 10:00PM Eastern = 3:00AM London time now, and my reaction time does drop that early in the morning...

8pm eastern would translate to Monday Morning for me, I'll be working. :(
Just for reference, FSO is Saturday afternoon at 13:00 for me. ;)

Sunka and valdals please follow the link I provided earlier.
We will arange the timing so everyone will be happy. I'm not excluding the possibility of having a more flexible schedule. After all if there are ten players, it would also make sense to make two teams of 5, etc.
All possibilites are on the table.
I'm very excited and happy about the turn out! Sounds like we had a good idea.

What you did wasn't really a bump, but this might be.

Finally able to get to the forums page, must be blocked here at work.  Signed up and left a line, but you'll need to share it.  :lol

Im a good formation pilot, right wing is my best position.
I have to say outloud that alot of the guys online these days try to fly formation using thier basic forward view, and so they float around just outside of 45 degrees and end up looking sloppy, proper tight in flying has you looking out of the forward left/right views, learn it guys and look better.
Names A8Popysd, look me up dude im a rook, id love to get at-least 3 guys started  doing formations, though im no leader (he has an ez joblol) like i say right wing is my best position. :aok
