Remember, I said I enjoy watching them. I would not like to be in one, when they go through these manouevres. This where you have to really work together and rely 100% on your team mates to do the right thing.
..................... over they go. This is about where I would probably start losing my lunch. But imagine what concentration it takes to keep this formation. In these situations, I believe the pilots in the planes at the back focus their attention on some point on the leading aircraft and then follow their every move. No place for individualists here.
And finally a belly churning dive. I wont even go on a roller coaster.
Many of us could learn a lot about working as a team from these guys. It is all about commitment and working together; and trust - knowing that you can rely on your team mate not to let you down; and putting aside all self interest for the benefit of all; and just having fun.

Wonderful post! Love these photos.
ReplyDeleteWow! You've posted some truly amazing photos! You've caught the action on a beautiful day.
ReplyDeleteFantastic post! Before my Dad passed away last year, we were sitting on the patio at his care home and he started telling me stories of when he was flying in WWII - how they had to fly through clouds in formation and all. Imagine doing all of what you've posted about AND having to be careful not to get shot down!
ReplyDeleteTeam work is important.
