Default West Coast Formation Clinic 2013
All,

I'm suprised that this is the first report... Here are some of the pics from the WCFC 2013 last weekend in Madera CA (KMAE). We had over 60 RV's and 1 HRII show up from as far away as Oregon, Wasington, Colorado, Kansas City, and Calgary Alberta. Great organization by the WCFC management team and some great flying made this clinic one to remember.

Tim Cone hosted yet another great BBQ bash at Sierra Sky Park, and the All-Up flight consisted of a 27-ship formation. Here are some pics of the happenings...

Pics by Pat Dulaney, Dan Benua, and myself. Post your pics if you have more...

That looks like a blast... I wonder how hard it would be for me to get time off and fly myself down there next year...

Default Cipher's video
George Ford (aka Cipher here) produced this inside look, follow-up video of the WCFC2013. George got his first real taste of organized formation flying here and seems to be hooked...

Enjoy!
