Edelweiss A350 Formation flight (CANCELED, REPLACEMENT FLIGHT IN PROGRESS)

Yes, IFC, it is time for yet another formation flight. Edelweiss inaugurated their first A350 flight from Tenerife South to Zürich, but you’re not here for that…

You’re here to do a formation flight over the Swiss alps. So here’s the plan:

I’m making a vid on this, so here’s what will happen, One Edelweiss A350 in front, An Infinite flight A350 and carbon A350 on either side, with Swiss fighter jets escorting, so we’ll need almost 10 people for this. Everyone is to copy my moves, to make things less complicated. You won’t copy my flight plan, but rather copy my heading, manually or with A/P (I recommend manually). ofc, I’ll be flying the Edelweiss A350.

Server: Expert Server (if any ATC sees planes over the alps dangerously close to one another, please don’t give us a Violation, trust me, that’s the last thing I want.

Hope to see you 43000 feet in the air. :slight_smile:

Now, let me set some ground rules:

No trolling. This ain’t discord. It’s if.

Limit use of autopilot. I want no one to crash into each other, considering this is a formation flight, I want nothing going wrong.

A video is being made on this, so act like you’ve actually played these games before, cause I guarantee you have.

Use the Unicom like English isn’t your second language. A max of 2 jet fighters will be able to takeoff on the same runway, just keep cross wing and separation in mind.

If anything goofy happens, I’m sending this to your local comedy channel.

And have fun guys, it’s infinite flight!

PM me if you have any questions, and I’ll see you, over the alps :wink:

Side note: I’m willing to get up at 3am for this, so let me know if I have to do that.

Also, we’re gonna need IFATC to have Switzerland FIR on lockdown for this event.
