Carolina who may be interested. They are all RV pilots, but maybe someone is interested in a little dissimilar formation games.

I am more interested in finding people who are willing to fly formation together on a regular basis..not putting the CJ in a demo team. I'd be very interested to learn more about what the RV community is doing in NC. May I call you at some point? Who are the folks in my area?

Even within our own RV community we regularly fly a Super RV-8 (IO-540) with constant speed prop with an RV-6 with IO-320 fixed pitch! However, Team RV is all RV types. There are a number of RV formation pilots in your area but not sure about CJs. There is a Yak pilot over at Siler City (5W8) you may want to ask about.

Are you familiar with my plane type - a Nanchang CJ-6? I am FAST two-ship solo qualified and will work on completing my FAST rating in 2010. I was looking for some guys to fly formation with. Some CJ guys in VA fly with RVs on a regular basis. Your thoughts (other than buying an RV!)?

We have several guys flying formation, Ron Schreck in Gold Hill is ex military and probably the best for you to talk to about mixing your plane with RVs. We have several in Charlotte, a few out of Raleigh, couple out of Wilmington, three out of SC, three out of Atlanta that make up Team RV. We practice our airshow routine one per month in the winter. Our next practice is Jan. 23 in Anderson, SC I think. ronschreck@windstream.net Len -----Original Message----- From: Larry Bowen To: Craig Cc: Len Leggette Sent: Sat, Jan 2, 2010 10:24 pm Subject: Re: NC Formation Flying Hi Craig.
