Slydog486 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Recently, I've devoted my spare time to creating a virtual aerobatics group for the F-15. So far it's going great, we're practicing turns, loops, all sorts of fun stuff in formation... My question is this: does anyone know of any documentation for different formations that we can fly in? I've found tons of formations online, but it seems that the same formation might have two different names. Does anyone have a good reference point for me to go off of? Thanks in advance!

Slydog486 Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 I apologize greatly if I've missed something, but I'm almost certain this wasn't formation flight. I'm looking for formations, not solo acts. Again, if I missed something, please let me know, but I am looking for more of a 4-ship or 8-ship approach to an airshow.

Ah, you're absolutely correct, my fault entirely for mis-reading your post. This is probably a better example of what you're looking for: [ame] [/ame] USAF Thunderbirds display team routine from 2015 which includes both group formation and solo elements. Fast forwards to 19:45 for the start of the action.

JINX_1391 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Hey Skydog...not sure if you will ever find a definitive set "guide" that sets a standard for what everyone calls different things. But here are some links I found with a quick search: http://http://afthunderbirds.com/site/maneuvers/ http://interactive.sun-sentinel.com/thunderbirds-maneuvers/ http://www.pilotweb.aero/techniques-training/formation-aerobatics [sIGPIC]http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn266/JINX1391/jinx%20f99th%20sig_zps2hgu4xsl.png[/sIGPIC] "90% of the people who actually got to fly the F/A-18C module there (E3 2017) have never even heard of DCS or are otherwise totally undeserving pieces of trash." -Pyromanic4002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
