This is one of my favorite formations I was ever in. It was the first one that I coordinated myself. I was working at the Cavanaugh Flight Museum and we were having Raiders come to the museum for a week or so. I thought it would be cool to get some T-6's up and escort her in to Addison. It went off without a hitch. We all met up over Lancaster and within 5 minutes, the B-17 showed up and we were in a formation. Jim Cavanaugh even brought the Mustang in the slot for most of the flight. I just love flying in formation with the big bombers. I originally shot this on VHS so the quality is not the best.
