Formation Flying in Flight Simulator

If you look very carefully at this picture you can see the two other planes I’m, ahem, flying in formation with….. It was a lovely evening. The plan was to take off from Elvington airfield and then land at Humberside airport. And we did. Mostly. My goodness, flying properly is hard. Something simple like keeping a constant speed and height seems to involve constant control fiddling.

After our Yorkshire flight we went down to London City Airport and then flew over to Filton near Bristol. London looked magnificent in the evening sunshine. I managed a very bouncy touchdown and then crashed into a tree taxiing for a group picture. But it was all great fun and something we will definitely do again.
