It’s hard to describe what it’s like the first time you form up with other aircraft, especially historic aircraft like the T-6/SNJ/Harvard. I just try my best to take it in, soak in as much as I can and of course, open the canopy and capture the moments with my camera. I pay attention to
the sounds of the engine, the inputs on the stick and pedals and try to anticipate each action as best I can from the back seat. Each flight usually concludes with the group heading in one after another for a solo fly-past with a left break over the Museum.
After the flight debriefing, the group will discuss the flight and go over any details or issues they feel need to be addressed in advance of the next sortie.
