A friend of mine shot this formation flying video...

Safety disclaimer: Don't try formation flying without prior training or you might end up DEAD

Just remember, these aren't bumper cars. A bump in flight is a REALLY bad thing.

 

[epic!]

311 rocks..

nope... all they do is smoke pot and write the same song over and over

I have no problem with formation flight IF the pilots involved have adequate training and are willing to fly according to long-established rules.

In this case, welcome to stupid folks flying formation without a. training and/or b. flight discipline.

That pass in front of the camera aircraft from left to right was stupid-and there isn't any professional formation "team" or training that teaches otherwise.

You are 100% correct. No flight discipline at all. These guys are an accident waiting to happen.

In the second video I see a few FAR violations with tail numbers in the video. Real rocket scientists and very sloppy formation flying.

Low altitude over water and too far from a suitable place to land. Real bright!

And you people are probably the first to armchair QB a crash and have never done something in your lives that you think later on was a lil' dumb.

Hypocrites, get over it!

I think the difference would be that they didn't post their stupidity on the web and think they where cool for doing it!

I suppose this video is another accident waiting to happen....

Lighten up Francis..........

Actually that was more professional. It wasn't some stupid low time pilots that thought they where cool.

Yes, your right.. Amber and Beautiful Disaster are identical.. As are Omaha Stylee and Uncalm..

I totally agree with you..
