Very Nice, I am based out of Port Angeles and had no clue that the Olympic Peninsula was representing like this, I hopefully will get a chance to see you around sometime, I often land at Sequim, great place to practice simulated engine out landings.

You should do some formation training with us and fly  the Caravan next year.

Alan,

how much flight time was involved with that?

Looks a bit like it could be tiring... in a good way.

Best regards,

That flight was 1.5 hours total.  We landed at KCLM and did a lead swap so about 45 minutes each of flying wing/lead.

Beautiful fall day in the great northwest.  Thanks for the pictures @FlyingAg14

Amillet,

Next time you plan to do some formation flying, please let me know a few days in advance.  I'd love to do some of that.  Weather, airplane, and my schedule permitting I'd love to fly over or meet you someplace to get a little wing time.

I have no formation time in Mooney's but I've got quite a bit of formation time in T37's, T38's, T33's, F106's, and F15's.

[carusoam]

Bob,

The formation group has a website and a booklet regarding all their communications and signals... and formations...

This link has it near the bottom...

I think the F15 seat time might help you out a little... 

Best regards,
