Ah, that's nothing for me. See you on Wednesday then.

FORMATION flying you silly git.

And few pointers to whoever will be the lead plane:
- Tell the others your pitch, power & radiator settings everytime you change them
- Warn before you turn, even better call out the turn "Turn right, 3-2-1-turn"
- Keep the darn altitude, decide the alt you want to fly in, get there and stay there. Call out any alt changes to the rest of the flight.
- Make sure the flight know's their places. Prolly good idea to tell them before taking off e.g. #2 on leader's right, #3 on leader's left, #4 on #3's left as wingman.
- And to get the formation together quickly, leader should circle the airfield at low rpm without gaining altitude 'till everyone is airborne.

FORMAL FLYING

-Groups
-Groupleaders
-Obedience towards the groupleader
-Activity in the group, chatter (position, alt, throttle, contacts)
-Stay together in the group, group attacks!
-NO lone wolves, lone wolves will risk a kick!
-If you crash and the team is far away, you wait till the team returns to base before refly as a group! (there are some exceptions if the group is nearby you may scramble if the groupleader gives you the green light)
-Groupleaders will pick the equipment, his groupmembers will do pick the same! (this will especialy help in Formation flying)
-Everyone can be a Groupleader and everyone will be one (Except you bloody NO MIC MUTES!)
-and more...

Meant the Fighter Blenheim, in group flights that thing will obviously never have a chance to fly

I dont see why we can't try it, a group of 2 will do for example

Ah, okay

Do you know if there is anything that can be done to fix the nigh-invulnerable German aircraft? They are way too tough for normal aircraft

XabbaRus · 03-23-09, 02:27 PM

OK sounds like fun I'll be there. This is something we need to practice as too often we get split up and find sod all or all die.

I could use some practice doing some formation flying, btw I do have some BOB era squadron skins (610 and 242 squadrons). Will we also be practicing group take-off and landings?
