Cool! Now what the heck was up with that flying formation with an airliner thing anyway?
Looks like the same clip as the nut-case dude who punched out of the Piper turboprop.
I'm flying into Middleton tomorrow, Kent. Should I try chasing down a commercial jet coming into KMSN in the 'ol 172?
They might not like that!
What would be cool, though, would be to have a huge formation of every model of Cessna, at least those currently in production. Citation X all the way down to 172!
Hey now, Don't leave out the 150/152's! Dont discriminate against two seaters! :smile:
And I doubt a 152 at full power could keep up with a Citation X in slow flight.
That's why I said "currently in production." Otherwise you'd have an awfully large formation! You'd have to add in the 120, 140, 150, 152, 170, 175, 180, 185, 188, 190, 195, 205, 210, all the 3xx and 4xx twins, the bird dog, the bamboo bomber, the one military jet they made, etc...
It wouldn't have to. You'd just have to have a photographer with a good trigger finger / timing when the Citation formation was passing the piston engine formation.

don't forget the 145 and 165 airmasters, plus the Model A (I think). Oh and Cessna also built some primary gliders during the depression.
