This was a group of RV guys north of Houston. I did not personally know the guy killed but am acquainted with a few of the rest.

Events such as this prompts me to ask the likes of Bob Highley and Gary Green to give us all a sit-down formation basics refresher at Kentucky Dam this year, perhaps at the picnic table Friday or Saturday.

As one who is largely self taught, I can say without reservation that I could benefit greatly from such a discussion.

Constant bearing, decreasing range, under running. Acute and sucked. It's been many a year since I've done the aerial ballet and I could use a GOOD refresher before joining up. Closure rate can bite you in the ass ! Dan...any chance someone (qualified) at KVIS this year can do a formation brief ?
