I flew for the Air Force and we used the term formation landing. Is is a Navy term? Held over from the old days really. A section or element was the basic fighting unit in either fluid two or fighting wing, or in the Navy a loose deuce pair. It became common to refer to any pair of fighters landing as a pair as a section; ie; section or element lead and a trailer. From another post of yours; I'm interested in your comment about the F4 having not much P Factor. How do you have ANY P Factor with an F4? Dudley Henriques Rotation of the earth? Coriolis effect. :-)
