Our regular group in Houston progressed to making regular formation
takeoffs and landings. Possibly the most bizarre one was when we did a
flight of four (which did NOT include a formation takeoff and landing!)
which consisted of a Cessna 140, Grumman Tiger, Cessna 170...and a Beech
Bonanza. I was flying the Bonanza - gear up but with full flaps! It'll
fly fine with the 140 with the flaps down. (I have some photos of the
Bonanza on my website which were taken from the 140).


WEW!!!
Grossly dissimilar aircraft!
The 140 is firewalled, the 170 is happy, the Tiger is in slow cruise,
and the Bo is just hanging on (well, not quite that bad :-)).
Sounds sporting!
