Don't know if anyone else heard this but on Wednesday during the Air
Force 21 ship salute over Washington, Peter Jennings called the
formation the "Solo Man Formation". Plus the camera man focusing on
the aircraft doing the rapid climb away from the formation. IMHO, the
focus of the "Missing Man" is not on this aricraft but on the
remaining formation.


Roger that. It is bone chilling watching the aircraft depart the
formation, but as you say, the focus is on the remaining aircraft.

I'm amazed he didn't say "Solo Person Formation".

The missing man formation should not be modified according to the stature or
position of the deceased....every one of the members of the military that
earned the priviledge of having the missing man formation flown in their honor
was a leader...
