Presidewnt reagan's Missing Man Formation
Former President Reagan's sunset burial had a dissonant note for me. The Navy
flew a missing man formation over the site, and as is traditional the second element lead position (the airplane that would have been represented by your ring finger tip as they flew in finger tip formation) left its position, representing the missing man. For this man, this president, tradition should have been broken. The missing man was a Leader. The lead position should have been the vacant one.
