'The Eagles' display team

My new team, 'The Eagles' is looking for pilots! We fly the Christen Eagle II in the blue livery above (painted by myself). I am looking for another two pilots to fly in the team.

The Christen Eagle II is very easy to fly in formation and aerobatically. I have already made a couple of display sequences and have modified the 'lights' section of the Eagles .CFG so that, when the button for strobe lights is pressed, you get centre - blue smoke and when landing lights is pressed you get wingtip white smoke. Centre white smoke is activated by the smoke button.

To fly you need a decent amount of flying skill, teamspeak and a microphone; you also need to turn up for practices!

Plane 3 would be the solo aircraft for some of the show while 2 and 1 will be the 'synchro pair'... the rest of the display will envolve all 3. I will be flying number 1...

I'm interested in flying #3, but right now I don't think I could provide the commitment you're after Jake - life quite busy at the moment... :(

EDIT - if you could put me down as #3 for now I'de appreciate it and we can see how it goes... :)

That was good, especially if you consider we were basically making it up on the spot!  ;D
