Default Formation Flying Teaser

On Saturday Jolly took up a friend for some two ship formation fun. His passenger is a 100hr pilot who played pro baseball and now getting ready to take advantage of a pilot slot with the USAF. If he ever quits his day job as an AF pilot, he may have a career in film making. http://vimeo.com/20445395

Neat, but way too short!

Default Great video

This was a "teaser" with some sweet footage. There's got to be a full length video to follow!

Nice job on the flying.

Part of every USAF Undergraduate Pilot Training (UPT) class is making a class video which is used as part of track select, assignment night and graduation festivities. Once this guy's talent gets out they've already preselected selected a project officer.

Go to that famous video hosting site and do a search for "UPT class videos" there's a whole slew of them there. Some pretty funny some not so much.

So once this guy leaves the USAF and since Baseball player & pilot slots will be completed he'll need to become a fireman to complete the little kid dream job trifecta.

Good on him and good luck at UPT!

I am in the Dallas area and have a request to do some formation flying at an event but am not involved with the guys that do it. Does any one know who to contact? I think it could be fun.

Come to the Central Tennessee Formation Clinic and you will learn the ropes and meet the five other Texans that are already signed up.
