Hi Vlado;

Two things; first is that this is a beautiful shot. It's moments like this that
make it worthwhile. The second thing is that whatever it is you're using to clean your canopy has great market potential :-)

So, who was flying formation while you were clicking the shutter?

Randy, during the initial part of his first flight, I flew high top cover and let him have the airspace. When he was comfy, he cleared me in. The pix was taken during the rejoin.....it required a little bit of quick hand-eye-hand coordination.

Yes, the owner wants his identity kept private initially. But here is a clue: he raised his fist to signal a cross-over. (I did tell him we do remedial training at OSH for USAF standards.)

It is amazing how sometimes a quick photo makes a nicely composed panorama. This was a lucky shot.
Thx,
VL

if this pic doesn't put a smile on your dial, then nothing will.

Well done VL

Vlado maybe he'll get you converted to NA standards instead :shock:

It's still strange to me that the "trainers" and "fighters" use different formation signals.

Con-fu-zing!

What is amazing about the photo is, Vlado figured out how to post it himself
