ragedracer1977 Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 I had to fly with a bunch of brand B, but they were ok guys. fortunately for me, my safety pilot knew Mooney formation stuff pretty well. I was lucky enough to have Chuck Crinnian ride right seat. I got signed off for solo, and we flew a simulated mass flight from DVT to GYR. 12 ships, flight there was 2 ship with a trailing 3rd and the flight back was 3 ship. We landed in formation at GYR and then one after the other at DVT. What a great experience! My arms are tired, I think I about wore out my rudder pedals, but it was so much fun! I’m lucky enough that my wife loves to fly and she came along for the flight this morning. Here’s some pictures and videos.

Yep, Chuck "Cowboy" Crinnian may know a thing or two about flying the Mooney in formation. I look forward to meeting you in MSN and OSH in July. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragedracer1977 Posted March 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 Looks like I'm going to fly again with the red star guys this coming weekend. They're having another clinic at FFZ just down the street. Supposed to be a couple Mooney guys there as well which will be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill let these guys sort it out themselves if they really want to do it. At one time, both had expressed an interest in formation flying.
