Funny as that may be, Steven *was* very cognizant of how he wrote this
story up, for fear of being flamed by certain members of this group.


Ever since Steven Ames got flamed to a charbroiled crisp over a loose
formation flight (with a CFI as the wing man), I've always had to resist
the temptation to post about the flight of four we did consisting of a
Cessna 140, Cessna 170, Grumman Tiger and Beech Bonanza. So far I've
resisted because I think I'd be trolling if I did that :-)


Go ahead and post. I can vouch for the credentials of at least 2 of the
wingmen.. I'm tryin to figure out who #4 was...

I was actually #4 in the Bonanza. We put the slowest plane first :-)
Keiran Smart was in the Tiger. I'm not sure who was in the 170 though!

I'd forgotten about Kieran.. and I MISS that tiger..

Just so nobody gets their underwear ruffled.. these guys regularly flew
together in dissimilar types and were based out of the same field.. I've
sat in on their briefings in the past. The other two.. we do know who
they are.. but they both fly for a living and dont need the press...

Anyways.. enough of hijacked threads
