Default FOUGA formation flight at Florida Jets '14

For me, the highlight of FJ was the formation flight with the two Fougas that Ali (the Boss) and I did.

I could not believe how Ali was able to see both airplanes at the same time, and thru precise short instructions, make our flight look as if we had practice together for years.
I can't deny that it got scary a few times, but it was with no doubt a huge adrenaline rush .

The pics with the Fougas on knife edge were a slow roll and an axial 4 point roll, btw !!!!










Thanks a lot Voy for the great pictures.

Jack

WOW....

Wojtek, thanks a lot for the pictures.

i was able to see this as an spectator and it was just unreal how good it was without any previous practice.

And the Fougas are perfect planes for formation. The right speed, size and presence

can't wait to see you guys do it again

I have been fortunate enough to fly alongside nearly all of my RC hero's over the years! This Fouga flight was just another one of those times! Thanks Jack. It was an honour and a pleasure. Flying in formation with some people is so easy, because you just know exactly where they are going to be at all times. No shocks, no surprises! I really enjoyed this Fouga flight and hope that it is something we can replicate some time soon?
Regards Al

Don't be so modest on your flying skills Jack and Jack Sr.!

Both you and your dad are incredible pilots! And super nice guys!

It's always great to see the "Jacks" and the whole clan out! I bet little Santiago is going to be a superb pilot as well!

You two gentlemen are true ambassadors for our hobby!

Ali hears how great a pilot he is all the time! And he is! Damn that dude has nerves of steel!

Great pics Voy!
