We had a 90 minute safety briefing in the morning, and then flew two "sorties", one in the morning and then a break for lunch and another flight in the afternoon. The morning flight was just two planes, both of us Baron's although the other plane was a 58TC. The afternoon flight we paired up with a E33 in a 3 ship formation. Total blast once I got the hang of all the throttle jockeying. The 55 Baron is so light and maneuverable I didn't have much trouble pairing with the single engine 35 at all. Good fun!

Formation flying - b2osh training
Yesterday I did the Bonanza's to Oshkosh formation clinic. I was a little bit nervous flying so close to other airplanes, but it was a blast. Here is a video I snapped.

Formation is the most fun you can have flying other than Aerobatics ... The BOSH guys are a great group to form up with ... after > 1200 formation hours, I'll tell you that it's always a hoot
