Subject: RV Formation Ground School
Larry,
Would you please post the message below to your SERV group. I'll pass on
more info as it becomes available.
Zack
I am putting together a date and location for the annual RV
Formation Ground School. The time frame I am looking at is late January or
early February. This formation school covers much information about flying
close to another plane (formation). If you are considering flying formation
in the future, or were wondering what formation flying is all about, this is
a good opportunity to gain some information.
The RV Formation Ground School is open to anyone who wants to attend (and
it's free!) that has even a slight interest in formation flying. The ground
school lasts about 2 to 2 1/2 hours and will be held in the morning in a
heated hangar.
This ground school is geared towards RV's but the general concepts and
principals are the same for other aircraft as well.
I am looking at a new location this year. It's not confirmed yet, but the
Jet Center at Millville airport in New Jersey (MIV) is a distinct
possibility. I will let you all know as soon as I can about that location.
What I need to know now is who wants to come and how many people you will
bring. I also need to know how many planes will attend. The location at
Millville can handle quite a few people. But, for planning purposes, I need
to know how many people and planes. Please reply to me at
zackrv8@verizon.net if you are interested.
