Practicing Formation in Canada


Ned Gravel

Recommended Posts

Yesterday, Yves and I flew to Kingston from Ottawa for dinner at a little place they know.  Nice place. But the best part was the formation flying from Rockcliffe to Kingston.  C-FQKM +1 departed Rockcliffe at 5:30 pm local and landed in Kingston at 6:10 pm local, after doing the overhead break and landing in trail.  Runway 25 was not wide enough for even a two ship element to land.  We wanted runway 19, but it was not the active.

 

At first Yves did the lead job, then we switched about 20 minutes into the flight, then back to him for the landing.

 

After dinner, it was a beautiful night flight home.  Ute took the pictures.  I was kinda busy.

 

Here are the pics.  Today, I will register for the Caravan.
