Announcing THE book on airshow flying

Cheers for that, EDR, but what are the corresponding points you match on
each airplane? I'm not sure I understand the relationships from what you
wrote.

Just out of curiousity, do you have any formation time in Pitts
Specials?
If so, what do you use as visual references in echelon to keep your
position? We've gotten some conflicting advice about the best position.

Hi Shawn, when flying formation, it is important to keepy your eyes
moving to detect relative motion. Stare at any one point and and you
may get sucked in to your leader.

Try this:
- wingtip on your side
- bottom rear corner of the canopy on your side
- tailwheel

Keep your eyes moving to these three points in order.
If the position of the object changes, you have relative motion and
must correct to put the object back in its original poition.
