Marc,

Here is a short simple one of us flying in formation with an -8.

It is a great example of what not to do because after the -8 turned on his smoke with us in trail, I purposfully pulled up into the smoke and got bounced around.

BTW, the plane doing the fly-by at the start is the Giles 202 known as "Primeval Fear".

There are a few on the SoCAL RV Formation Squadron web site.

Team RV may also have a few in their media gallery.

Marc,

All I could do was download the low res version. There has to be a way to download the high res version but I don't know how to do that.

BTW, at the beginning of the flick we are climbing out and you can see the end of our 2300 foot runway slide under the nose. Notice how high we are with all of 135 HP, full fuel, and two men on board.

There are several tools you can use. I used 'Orbit' which is an downloading add-in for Explorer 7. It worked great for both versions.

You can also 'do the google' and look for 'YouTube video download' to find other tools.
