49 RV Formation over Chiefs-Raiders Trip Log
 
I was one of the 49 pilots in the mass formation over the Raiders-Chiefs football game a couple of weeks ago. My wife and I flew the RV-7 out from Maryland a little early for the event. Attached is a link to a web log of our six day trip. I took a lot of photos but the web log also includes great pics others took. Enjoy. Link

Formation Documentation
 
In the remarks column of my log book, I list the names of the other pilots in my formation. Uh oh.

Nice write-up!
 
Bill,
Thanks for sharing your write-up!
It was fun to relive the event.

And thanks for flying a good lead for hotel flight.

If you had told me 2-1/2 years ago that someday I'd be flying on your wing in a 49 ship formation I would have thought you were crazy!!

Relivin' it
 
Great write up Bill. You have a couple of pix I haven't seen yet also.

Has anyone seen any pix with all 49 on the runway from an aerial point of view?
