Flame suit still on.
 
Some years ago I shared some Air Force manuals on formation with members of my local EAA chapter.
A while later one of the members thanked me and explained how - using the book - had tried it and become a self taught formation pilot.  I've been more cautious since.
 
Flying formation is like flying instruments.
A little ability is dangerous.
A little currency is also dangerous.
The military has to have formation pilots to fight a war so they get lots of training and are kept current.
 
Those of us on the list who have done that have not said that anybody else can't do it.
We said "BE CAREFUL"
