This morning I got up to find by bud online and needing a witness for his crazy flying........Well, Mark is just a crazy as we all give him credit for, and I did my best to try to keep up and get our back to back pass under the Golden Gate.....alas, its really not all that easy to do when flying online....we took many passes at it and got close, but never really acheived our objective, but thats not to say we are finished trying..........here is a bit of our attempts........it was a blast and I look forward to more of it.............
Please forgive the quality of the images as I need to get a new screenshot saver which will support my 1600x1200 res which I normally fly at now......looking into it and will have better shots as soon as i find something.........

This is as close as we could get .....

Now this is cool stuff. Ken, which heavy are you flying. Do you know that these are the only pictures I have seen from you where you are actually transporting people!!! IN A HEAVY. Usually you are scaring old people at the day care and flying inverted thru McDonalds!! LOL

Which one are you?

As for you Mark, with all the bridges you are flying through, you must be getting to know the toll collectors!!!

Maybe you guys need some me to add some lighting effects ! Wink

Really Dave, did you think I wasn't a deep down bus driver ?.....I can handle anything that has wings and some that don't ( ie. Supercar).....I am flying the upright heavy in all those shots.....
........my grab clip save won't allow me to save my 1600x1200 images and due to that fact, it brings in a moire effect when it saves them down to 1024x768......makes my shots look amateur-ish....we will be getting together again to get this stunt right and hopefully by that time I will have a better screenshot saver......
.....this was just our first time trying to formate and now with this rookie session behind us, you can count on better stuff as we become journeymen......

I have to say this was a great session with Ken, and as he said we're still working on this. The idea is to fly through with wings overlapping.
I've been doing a lot of practice for this recently and can not hold the jumbo inverted at 60-80 feet at 475 knts indefinately.
Ken did all the hard work, he had to keep trying to catch-up and hold position whilst taking the shots.
Believe me we did a lot of passes, but hey what a gas 8)
My hat goes off to Ken, he has amazing powers of patience as well as being a great pilot. I'm looking forward to the next session with him and I'm thinking up some other hair-raising things at the moment Grin

Did you guys never try MW's MultiGrab? http://www.mnwright.btinternet.co.uk/index.htm
It might be posted in his beta files section but Martin's beta stuff is usually better quality than most commercial programs.

I have a challenge for you, how about Ken flies upright, with Ozzy inverted directly above him, while I between you coming from the opposite direction, all under the bridge? Do you think that is even possible? ???

I'd love to try that!

its feasible Ric. The thing Ken and I are doing is perfecting this stunt with 747s. That makes it v.v.hard as timing is everything, and these things aren't Extra 300s!!!!
If you could workout the timing, and practiced a lot it would be possible I think though.
With the GG its possible to get 2 jumbos through stacked, but only just. The lower pilot has to nearly be hitting the water, and the upper has to fly a layer of paint away.... But hey if it was easy everyone would be doing it Grin

Alright Mr Sarcasm.... I can take a hint. I know these arent the greatest shots, but - "I ain't skeered".

Heres an L1011

And a DC-10 using the rudder to its fullest potential Grin

I tried with the B-52, but it prefers swimming to flying upside down.

Well BDS, it looks like you have one part of the formation down......most of us have done that part already.............now all you need is a willing partner to join you in this stunt online ................takes a "team" to do some formation flyin.........

One more thing....you have your captions backwards....the top one is the DC-10 and the bottom one is the L-1011......... Roll Eyes

Seems to me like a run over Berlin in 1945 would have let us see less flak than we are seeing now Mark, but in all honesty, I feel that I am keeping quite sane and you can have all the credit for toe-ing the line.........I am only the eye-witness photog, and have nothing to do with acting crazy.......TRUST ME !

why don't you get someone else to take a few pictures while you two fly? It might make things a little easier on you. I can makethem into splashscreens as well if you want (I have a program called Snapshot that automatically captures the pictures as 800x600 which is the perfect size for splashscreens)
The hard bit is catching me online but im on for most of the weekend

OH yeh, now this would make three A/C flying under the bridge at one time......all we need is a good cameraman then....or Camerawoman......

OH yeh, we do have one more small prob....Ozzy and I have to make do with our 9 hr time difference, so its really a case of either someone staying up late or someone getting up pretty early in the morning.........

Nice work Maccers. I took that one under Sydney Harbour Bridge a while back. She flies beautifully inverted. Much more stable than the jumbo Wink
