Default 9-ship practice flight...

An extended view of Blackjack formation practice shot by Acroflyrgirl with her nifty homemade cap cam from my right seat in B3.

Enjoy 12 minutes of riveting unedited formation practice in a 9-ship from the initial join up in 3-3-3 through transitions to Double Arrow, Diamond, and Delta, for manuvering station keeping practice, through Bravo flight separation.

I've flown that close with the guy that taught me to fly, but seeing so many, so close makes my heart race, especially seeing the guy in the middle. I'd say "looks like fun" but it looks simply stressful. kevin [also flies with his left hand]
