Great thread. It is so very important to get really good training before you dive into formation flying. You'll find it one of the most gratifying types of flying. You are never really in position, just constantly trying to be.

I often tell students that they are constantly fighting to be in the correct position, occasionally passing through it, but never really being able to stay there for more than a split second. Fight fight fight to be there. You will be happy to see that on occasion, you might actually pass through the correct position.
