Official Freewing 90mm F-15C Eagle Thread

Afew photos of my F-15, with Alpha flying it for the last flight of the day Friday ...in the "golden hour".

And sometimes in the "corners", you do not have to be close at all but the angle works out so that they LOOK a lot closer to the camera than they really are!

[Aros]

Yeah the few times I got to practice, it was pretty much the same thing...One of us is lead and the other has to match altitude and speed while maintaining the chosen pattern. The "chaser" or "wing man" has to work the hardest to emulate the lead pilot obviously. We too had some hairy moments where we thought for sure we were about to have a mid-air, but the Flight Gods would smile upon us. Depth perception can be a b*** in this hobby. ;)

Good luck on the maiden tcat. :)

Yeah, a tight formation is harder than it looks. My mate al n I pretty much decide who will "lead" with a fairly constant throttle setting and predetermined circuit, and it's up to trail to match speed etc. sometimes we have some good success forgetting all that and just chasing. No midairs yet, but had a few close calls lol.

[Aros]

Nice! I haven't quite gotten the hang of good formation flying yet, mainly because I don't often get to try. It's definitely a skill that is harder than it looks.

[T-CAT]

Thanks guys!! Such a amazing shot Bajora, and it was great flying the Eagle with you Alpha. This is such an amazing flying and looking jet, and you folks sure did a heck of a job producing it.

Flying formation was a blast, and between the weather, good friends, and all the fun flying, it couldn't have been a better day. I'm really looking forward to seeing you all again.

This upcoming week I'll be maidening the Tomcat if the weather and time line up. I've been waiting to take that bad mama jama up for some time now.

[Alpha]

Hey, cool shot! Thanks for coming out, T-Cat. This was only T-Cat's second flight, and he was already comfortable with maintaining a close formation with me throughout the pattern on several passes. Well done and good to see you in an Eagle, sir!

[Bajora]

Doesn't a pair of Eagles beat two owls? :p



T-Cat and Alpha flying some nice formation yesterday!

[Aros]
