Formation with a Cessna???
 
We need to give the Cessna drivers a little more credit. I flew formation in my RV6 with one of them on saturday and didn't have to slow down for him at all ;).

The Citation driver is a friend of mine. We actually met up by chance and he flew next to us for some air to air pictures. I was doing about 155 knts. which was a very comfortable speed for him.

Yeah the overcast is a bummer. At this time of year in PA, I was lucky to be flying at all. I really wish we had some of that Texas weather here in the winter!
