Today is the Palatka Airport Open House and Fly-In. We usually go and make a few formation passes before landing for free lunch. Most of my flight decided to go to Flying W near Bushnell for breakfast. Three of us decided not to try grass and went to New Smyrna Beach airport instead. Since New Smyrna Beach airport is only 5.3 nm from us, we have to fly around (excuse to practice) for a while before going in.
After breakfast we flew toward Palatka in order to join up for our formation passes. In the air we learned that R2906 was cold so we made the lake in R2906 as our rendezvous point. My ADS-B detected two targets coming and in no time my section lead had visual contact with the targets.
We had two flights of four and one flight of three joining in a big wing formation. With the bumpy air and different airplanes we keep the formation loose.
We made our pass over the airport then over the city.
