<.Bridge (over troubled) Stairway

"Stairway To Heaven"

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven.

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who stand looking.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.

And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter.

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the May queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on.
And it makes me wonder.

Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know,
The piper's calling you to join him,
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all is one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.

And she's buying a stairway to heaven.

Life's illusions are misleading,it's so good to be here and breathing.

Cessna 172 formation flying

Being a pilot who likes flying low, this just straight looks like fun. I used to live in sparse Northern Michigan and other than the few trips over parts of the lake I rarely was over 500ft. Why would you want to. For all you saying they are breaking rules..Your idiots. The FARS say 500ft from any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure. Trees and rivers don't fit in this category
This looks fun as hell and is totally legal in every sense of the word and the regulations. I would totally try this if i had two planes, one forme and another pilot, his consent on formation and not-so-straight-and-level flight, and a tempting geographical formation to fly over/under/or through.
However....what if the engine decides to quit?
The FAA defines formation flying requirements in FAR section 91.111: “Operating near other aircraft. (a) No person may operate an aircraft so close to another aircraft as to create a collision hazard. (b) No person may operate an aircraft in formation flight except by arrangement with the pilot in command of each aircraft in the formation. (c) No person may operate an aircraft, carrying passengers for hire, in formation flight.” For me, the definition of formation flying is operating aircraft relative to one or more aircraft.
i just got my pilots license and i really want to formation fly soon but i will definitely take a instructor up cause there is no room for error, but it looks fun..
The formation flight ..Link to flying low .. briefing is usually done by the lead pilot and includes all aspects of the flight profile such as weather, airport and communications information, potential issues (e.g., dissimilar airplanes), takeoff and join-up procedures, flight route, maneuver profile, landing operations and emergency procedures. Communications are extremely important to safely conducting a formation flight and must be understood by all flight members.

This article is a description of techniques I employ on formation flights—it isn’t a substitute for training. Flying formation is an easy way to die, and engaging in a formation flight without proper dual instruction is unthinkable!
Link to..Landing Low.. It's the Toncontin International Airport. The most dangerous airport in the world.

To successfully land at Toncontin, pilots must fly over the mountains and turn left at an angle of 45 degrees for a few minutes before the plane touched the runway


Responsibilities
There are large differences between the responsibilities of the lead pilot (“lead”) and those of the wing pilots (“wing”). Lead must think, communicate and provide a safe and smooth flight profile. Lead must trust wing, be extremely consistent, plan for issues such as formation size and time requirements, and accommodate a large enough power advantage required by wing to stay in position. Good lead pilots will have a very consistent roll rate and pitch change, and will keep the formation in level flight or turning at a 30- to 40-degree bank. The lead pilot should usually be the best pilot in the group.
