Let us know, its going to be a great opportunity and a great time! Come on you know you want too.... Check out these images of the Yuma Formation Flight activity last weekend! mooneycaravan.shutterfly.com Quote
RocketAviator Posted April 4, 2014 Author Report Posted April 4, 2014 What are the dates? To Be Determined but mid to late June seems to be the primary target. Do you have a specific date you are interested in? Quote
moodychief Posted April 4, 2014 Report Posted April 4, 2014 I'm interested. I was wondering dates as June 1st I am already booked. Later in June may work. Quote
RocketAviator Posted April 4, 2014 Author Report Posted April 4, 2014 I'm interested. I was wondering dates as June 1st I am already booked. Later in June may work. I am thinking more mid to 3rd portion of June for my schedule but I will adjust as necessary. Looks like we have about 8 pilots & planes not counting you who have stated they are committed. It would be great to get at least 12 planes as that is a good flight training quantity according to what I understand. To me that means about a 15 commitment as some will undoubtedly drop out! We can work with smaller groups down to just two planes but it is so much more fun and satisfying to fly in a 3 ship formation!!! You have an opportunity at so much more than just Lead and #2 position flight options! Quote
KSMooniac Posted April 4, 2014 Report Posted April 4, 2014 I might be interested as well. There is one in Wichita next month, but I might not have my plane back together and broken-in before that event. Quote
MARZ Posted April 5, 2014 Report Posted April 5, 2014 I'm interested Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote
RocketAviator Posted April 6, 2014 Author Report Posted April 6, 2014 Let's get this deal going, PM me and I'll get you in contact with Bucko Flack who is gathering the commitment list. Last update we have 12 committed.. Let's show our fellow Mooniac's what we can do in Texas... Let's make it 20 or MORE! Quote
bucko Posted April 6, 2014 Report Posted April 6, 2014 Including the 3 people that have indicated their interest in this topic list above, we now have 15 people who want to do a Formation FLying Clinic in Texas in June. We are working with the Mooney Caravan organizers to set up the schedule and safety pilots. We'll keep you posted on this list and others as the details are finalized. This is going to be great.

bucko Posted April 8, 2014 Report Posted April 8, 2014 We'll discuss logistics (dates, locations, and numbers) in the next several weeks and let everyone know the details about the Texas Formation Flying Clinic coming in June. Quote
1964-M20E Posted April 8, 2014 Report Posted April 8, 2014 Where in texas? Texas is big like a whole other country. Quote
Dave Marten Posted April 8, 2014 Report Posted April 8, 2014 Gents, Location and date will solidify soon. The Texas clinic will be discussed at Kerrville this weekend during Homecoming. Leaning toward mid-late June. North Texas Regional (KGYI) is high on my list as is Kerrville. I'm working with our B2Osh friends to assist with safety pilot support as we do not yet have enough formation qualified Mooney drivers in Texas to handle the volume on our own. Gathering a cadre of safety pilots to facilitate training will impact our choice of location. We WILL make this happen! Details will be available soon! For those of you who are saddled up with your spurs on and have no problem flying north of the Red River you're welcome to attend the Caravan clinic in Wichita, KS 16-18 May. https://sites.google.com/site/mooneycaravan/training/2014-wichita 1 Quote
Flynnupe Posted April 9, 2014 Report Posted April 9, 2014 Im game, im very interested in doing a formation class here in TX. Please let me know of the dates,times etc so that I can clear my schedule.. Quote
trey Posted April 10, 2014 Report Posted April 10, 2014 Hi All. Sorry to jump in to this thread late, but I'm in Texas and I would love to participate. I'm busy through mid June, so late in the month works better for me. Please keep us informed on date and location. Looking forward to it! Quote
RocketAviator Posted April 10, 2014 Author Report Posted April 10, 2014 Now we are starting to get this thing moving as I knew it would.. It will be a great experience I am sure! Lord willing I will see Bucko this weekend and see if we can narrow down some dates etc. Thanks everyone, looking forward to seeing and flying with you all! Quote
