And the point is? I was only qualifying Chris's experience as he was not a gaggle flyer. I've flown formation beside Stu, behind Stu and with Stu and sat through many a brief with Stu on fire. I'll put the training provided by FFI, and the qualifications of Chris Good up against anyone. I don't know the intent of your post but feel qualified by exposure to merit this statement. A FAA endorsed FFI card says you can fly in waivered airspace, in the airshow, people all around, other airplanes in the air. It is FAA endorsed and does not come cheap. Remember, in my first post I mentioned it was formed at the request of the FAA as only warbirds and aerobatic pilots could fly formation in waivered airspace. I don't mean for this to come across harsh, it is just that Chris's death sucks.
