Title: Widgeon Formation Flight - Tues Sept 29 2020
Post by: Andy Hoffer on September 30, 2020, 12:27:02 AM
@Michael Rogozinsky and @davidk Kates provided lucky spectators with a great formation flight display with their twin Widgeons (or is that Widgeon twins?! or twin Widgeon twins?!!) this afternoon, with a fabulous backdrop of warm-front cirrus clouds moving in in advance of this evening's rain.

Thanks for the show guys!

You guys can figure out whose plane is whose!  :D

Hey @Oscar ,

I think now that @Michael and @davidk have had some time to familiarize themselves with the fundamentals of formation flight they are ready for a master like yourself to join their formation.  Hope I get to witness it.  The lead pilot calling out intentions with a countdown is really useful.  It's amazing what can be done when everyone is on the same page! 8)

@Michael showed off his fabulous scratch-built tundra tires on Tuesday.  You can land anywhere with them because the runway is already attached!   ;D
