My article on the 2012 Air to Air Academy Hunter F.6A Skyraider RNLAF F-16 Demo Team Chipmunk Yakovlev 18 Avenger |
Air to Air Photography Air to Air Academy - Mixed Formations Leopoldsburg, Belgium September 12-15, 2013 |
Each year the Air Academy provides the opportunity for backseat rides alongside the Skyvan flights. This year I was able to fly in the backseat of Hanno Wesdorp's North American AT-6A Texan (N13FY) in formation with a Skyraider and Avenger. Later there was an opportunity to fly in Dornier Do-27A-1 (D-EFFB) flown by Peter Lendle in a 'mixed formation' consisting two Yakovlev 18s, a Chipmunk and a Speed Canard. |
