I was a fighter pilot for the Air Force for several years and hated
formation landings more than anything else I ever did. No room for

I've done them in my Grumman AA5A along with a buddy who also flies a
Grumman AA1C... Of course our definition of a "formation landing" has
quite a bit more separation than ya'll probably did... grin We just
tended to use it to expedite coming into a Class-B airport (i.e.
"flight of 2") and the lead aircraft just lands long and on the left
side of the runway while the trailing aircraft shoots for the numbers
and stays on the right side of the runway... Of course, with the size
of the runway in question, we could be side by side and our wings
wouldn't be touching nor even overhanging the grass... A bit more
relaxed definition of "formation landing", I guess...
