Multiplay in the 1940s , the United States Army Air Corp style , The two big sticks in the European theater of operations the
..........................................Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress and the Consolidated B-24 Liberator .
..........................................

As the group climbed out plane all over , Captians Creator2003 (Mike) and Waka (Blake) starting to form the box formation .

three box wings , a training sortie

one thing between a B17 formation and mixing with the B24 was type performance , 24 crews always adjusting throttles due to a higher cruise speed .









I told em to close the formation .. this was the best defence during raids with high enermy activity .







This is only training for MP .. phurrr .. this real time .. scary !

Yeah it was a very cool night and i know at one point coming back across the ocean i felt like i was really there so i did a couple of filter jobs seeing it was heaps of fun and a good group to mix with













very fun night and would be really cool with alot more guys coming along for the formations

Nice shots Ian good stuff thanks for the laughter and entertainment

Then Ian hit the top of the ridge and smashed up his belly and props so he went down then moments after me and Mike hit the mountains Ian led formation really well!!

Some views from the cockpit



Low flying under the radar

Run out of fuel not gear collapsed hard landing

Cheers Guys

Absolutely brilliant, thanks guys.

Love those touch up pic's Mike, Look so realistic, Talk about being there!

Hopefully I can join you all sometime soon. Haven't done any formation flying for over 15 yrs.

Need some practice, but that will be half the fun.

Cheers

Not to detract from the NZ based flavour of this site... but do y'all think you could hold formation for 5+ hours over Europe?
If ya reckon so, gimme a heads up some time... I know some people, and a certain server
