Not low and slow flying but still fun.This is a video of BAE Hawks (Goshawks in USA) preparing and then flying a formation of London for the Queens 60th Anniversary.For any ex-Service Pilot they will know how much preparation was required to get 27 aircraft into formation. 3 is enough!http://vimeo.com/42489364As an aside . YOu may notice instead of the Air Force spending tens of thousands per aircraft for GPS System they use the Bendix SkyMap III at $1000 a time. Off the shelf too.Hope I havent offended anyone with a off Piet topic but the weather is crass here in England!RegardsGerry________________________________________________________________________________

> Actually, you can safety tee nuts. I epoxied mine in, but at the last minutebefore covering I cut a bunch of strips of thinplywood say, 1/2" by 1" and drilleda hole in the middle for the screw to protrude through. Then I glued andnailed one across each tee nut. They won't push out now . . . AH got it! 8)Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Formation Flying
