fast............Ron who?

That's pretty funny JS - did I tell you it was a weed whacker pilot who
was
doing the initial screaming (no offense to Ron or Mike or the other ULPA
guys here)? We actually do get along - it is just more fun this way.

Sounds like the hotshots at 7S5 are still trying to show everyone how
'swell' they can fly. Were there any airplanes with no radios in the
pattern? Any student pilots in the pattern? Any citizens in town, less

than

a mile away, and in-line with the runway?

The FARs say that whether in formation or not, thou shalt not be less

than

1000' above the highest obstacle within a horizontal radius of 2000' of

the

aircraft.

FAR Part 91.119 (b), "Over congested areas. Over any congested area of
a
city, town, or settlement, or over any open air assembly of persons, an
altitude of 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a horizontal
radius of 2,000 feet of the aircraft."

This would include the homes in the airpark, as well as non-aviation

homes

within a quarter mile of the runway, wouldn't it?

160 mph at 320' agl? WOW! They sure must be good pilots!

Is it within FARs to do a 4-ship pass down the active at 500 ft msl at

160

mph at an uncontrolled airstrip?

You've never made a low pass down the runway in your Ultrlight? :-) The
formation part has nothing to do with it. Can't you all just get a long
at

7S5? :-)
