It takes a little getting used to. I'm not sure if it shows on the video but the strobe lights up the hinge every few seconds. You extrapolate everything from there. You also must stay in close (parade) to see the lines you need to see. So route position at night means move out 4.3 feet :-)
The only difficult parts are the join up, which you must do slowly and turns. For some reason (no horizon) it takes awhile to recognize that lead is initiating a turn. We usually brief that lead will call all turns at night.
We've developed some experience doing this over a long time. Don't try it all at once.
