There just aren't too many good wingmen out there these days. It seems everyone wants to be the "lead" and not the "wing". Regardless, there are some who do a superior job at flying good wing and my own absentee-wingman is/was one of the best. =TgD=Lunix
-=FA=-RaVen is probably one of the best I've ever had as well. We flew an international match together one time and he was my wingman. I had a few successful engagements and was all over the sky. I recorded the ntrk and when watching it afterwards, I couldn't find a single sequence he wasn't stuck to me like glue...for over 2 hours solid! That's such a rarity and is hard to appreciate until you've had it.
Basic wingman tactics are akin to reading up on the communications
