Local flying clinic for pilots
They’re preparing for the largest airshow in the nation this Summer.
Pilots from all over the country took part in a flying clinic that will prepare them as they take the skies together.
The clinic trains pilots in different maneuvers and how to fly in formations.
Chuck Crinnan, of the Mooney Formation Group said, “Folks that have never flown formation and get them comfortable flying next to each other. In aviation, you don’t want to be next to an airplane. But we’re doing the opposite. We’re training for that. And we have folks at different levels up to four-ship advance formation. We’re doing maneuvering in various aspects of flying.”
The four-day flying clinic has been going on for over eight years.
