I've seen mention of formation/ free flight interest on some of the other threads, so I figured I'd start one dedicated. I'm looking for fellow pilots to get together for some formation flying sessions/photo ops.
Any suggestions on locations, routes, plane groupings, and times certain would be appreciated.
I believe the best setting would be a team battle (so as not to let the auto-gunners have a field day) with one unlucky sort drawing the straw to fly alone or in a small group apart from the formation. Perhaps a lone German fighter to muck the formations up a bit/ take photos would be in order. Please add your suggestions.
To begin with, I'd much like to call out all of the B-17 folks for some historic formation flying over the channel/ dover. A few little friends escort would be highly anticipated as well. See the links for some visuals.

Ideally I would like to have a catalog of each plane in a historic formation/ setting. Let me know your level of interest and I'll try to coordinate.
