Dave did it again...
Dave Gamble can wrap words around the story like no other and this is one of his finest. I first met Dave at the Ohio Valley RVators 4th Annual Formation Clinic in the Spring of 2007. I don't recall much about the clinic but Dave did and wrote an article about his experiences at the clinic which I have encouraged all fledgling formation pilots to read. Dave took his first formation flight in the back seat of my RV-8 and I think that was the start of something big for Dave. I'm happy to see that Dave is still paying it forward.

Said it before. Saying it again. Dave Gamble is one of the greatest writers I've ever read.

Oh my, Bob! That means more to me than I can express in words. Thank you, and thanks to everyone else that has provided feedback. I very much appreciate it.
