Formation Flying By Region
 
I was hoping I could find some folks in/around North Dakota or Georgia that would like to fly/learn to fly formation (I do spend most of my time in ND). I'm an experienced formation pilot and dont mind helping someone else learn it as well.

There seems to be a lot of flying activity in Fargo
 
My wife and I flew in a 1,800 mile race from (and back to) Fargo around 2002. They have the nicest aviation museum not run by the military I have seen. They had a flying Mustang and the #57 Corsair racer (I don't know if it is the original) and many display aircraft in a well lit spotless facility. I got the impression that the Air National Guard unit there is very active. The University had a strong aviation program as well. A couple of retired Generals flew a Cessna 172 in the race (it was a handicapped race). I think if you check around there you might find some interest.

I don't know anyone in North Dakota flying formation, but the Vanguard formation team flies out of Tea South Dakota just west of Sioux City.

In Georgia, look up Team RV with team members in GA, SC, and NC. They will probably respond to your post.

I think you meant Sioux Falls, SD.

Chris,

There are several members of Team RV in Georgia, (Atlanta general area) that are always open to new formation flyers. I know that some are away on vacation this week and might not be checking in here as often.

What part of Georgia will you be in? Send me a note offline and we can chat a bit about it.
