NC Formation Clinic Video
 
Thirty pilots attended the clinic this past weekend. Two earned their FFI flight lead card and six earned wingman cards. The 21-ship All-Up formation capped off the weekend. We had a BALL!

Wow!
 
Simply outstanding formations!

Congratulations and thanks,

It was a ton of fun to participate in. Great job of editing the video and getting it out so fast. Way to go Sparky!

I wrote up my experience at the NC Formation Clinic in a web log. It was a great experience; the Team RV folks really did it right. They even arranged for perfect weather! Enjoy.

Nice pictures!
 
Bill,

What a great write-up! We organize these clinics to get the word out about formation flying, hoping that those who attend will go back home and get others interested. When you put together such a beautiful presentation at this it only serves to attract even more pilots to the ranks of formation flyers. Well done! I sure enjoyed flying with you and hope to do it all again sometime.

Great write up Bill. Had fun talking with you at dinner Saturday. Thanks for the tip on the Shop Top (Sp?) beer!

Truly motivating!

Bill, as you can probably tell, I was a Navy S-3B guy in my former life living in DC now. Would love to connect with some RV folks in the DC area.

OBTW, is Team RV based out of Salisbury, NC or did that just happen to be where the formation clinic was held that weekend? The reason I ask is, I just happen to be going to Salisbury, NC for Thanksgiving and if there is any RV realted stuff going on at Rowan, I'll definitely make a trip over to get my fix!

Also, is there a schedule of upcoming formation clinics posted somewhere?

Team RV is based in Atlanta, although team members come from all over the Carolinas and Georgia. Salisbury was chosen because of it's central location, great facilities and proximity to hotel, food, etc.

As far as I know, no clinics have been announced for 2011, but stay tuned to this forum to be among the first to know.

Great pics of the clinic
 
We'll have to work on some videos now with formations Bill.

Excellent job!
