Goodly afternoon all...

Now it is a lot harder than it looks trying to stay in formation on a sensitive computer like mine.
I could almost hear my old Squadron Leader chewing me out.
"Doug you retched little critter"
"Doug you animated mop rag"
You call that formation flying?

Nice shots, isn't a little hard to do formations with those? being if you go under a low low speed you stall, as in wait for the people in the back?

Hi Tai-2...

You can fly formation in any type of aircraft or types together. It takes practice, experience and training in real life.
The computer or at least mine is very sensitive to control so it is not hard to slip out of formation while flying on the computer.
The DeHavilland DHC-3 Otter is a light utility aircraft with STOL capabilities therefore very easy to fly in formation in real life with the proper training. Much like the old Harvard, Chipmunk and "T" Bird were.
We have actually rolled and looped the Otter with no problem at all. The original P&W R1340 was a little underpowered for the Otter and was the same engine used in the Harvard.
Sorry can not comment on the Turbo Otter as I never was qualified on them.

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Looked at number one and thought 'this should be good' but you tricked me

. Wouldn't it be great if you could get what's his name - he's on here quite a bit, to paint your entire squadron. Liked the shot over the airport

Thanks Bob...

I have a habit of deleting these things sometimes by mistake...

When I go to find it there is nothing. Need to start putting things in a folder to save. Will start one now so I have things. ;)

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug
