                              that the T-34 manual must accompany the videos.  
                              Thus, the option of ordering just the videos is 
                              limited to just those who already have the manual. | 
                             
                               The 
                                definitive instructional set on formation flying 
                                includes an exceptionally done two part, 4 hour 
                                of video by Darton International plus the Formation 
                                Flying Manual produced by the T-34 association 
                                video set.   The video includes mostly air-air 
                                descriptions of all aspects of formation flight 
                                from both the pilot/ wingman's point of view and 
                                also that of an observer aircraft. Echelon, Fingertip, 
                                and Trail formation are covered with instruction 
                                and demonstration of station keeping, inside & 
                                outside turns, join-ups & break-ups, and takeoffs 
                                & landings.  Hand signal communication 
                                and safety concerns are also covered in depth. 
                                  The book details some of the technical 
                                information from the videos.  
                                 
                                Besides being a lot of fun, formation flying is 
                                challenging and an important safety skill when 
                                flying with others. Would you want the guy on 
                                your left to be without it?
