Really close formation flying

in #planes6 years ago

Now this is what I call a tight formation!

Check out how carefully the pilot in the yellow plane is monitoring the wing gap!

Just after taking off and before moving into tight formation.

Sort:  

Few minutes of flight performance took the pilots few years or even more to practice and learn non-stop. It is a must-have learning attitude if we want to achieve our dreams .

Nice! Do you know what the planes are ? they seem to be big two seeter, probably a dive bomber or torpedo from the WWII but I can not recognize them. Can you give us info about them?

They are called Harvard's by the British and Texans by the Americans. They served as primary trainers for many of the Allied forces during WW2. They were not armed and could not carry torpedoes or bombs.

Thank's for the info! Nice looking planes!
Are they still in use for training?
In my country they use yak 52 for training military pilots before going to jets

I don't think any military is currently using Harvard's for training. In South Africa where I live, the Air Force sold many of their Harvards to private owners. The pictures above is of two of these. The plane with the orange is actually still in South African Air force colors. You can actually book a flight in these planes, and if you're daring you can book for a full acrobatic flight. Which is best flown on an empty stomach!

That is right. The WWII Harvard.

Lots of practice and they make it look easy

I would probably hit the car in front of me if i'd drive as close as those airplanes. Those pilots are masters at there job! :)

you captured right time good man i like it.

Excellent photo shots! what kind of camera you using?

Nikon bridge camera

you surely need some skills for that!

The pilot in the yellow plane is really very good pilot.
