Flying in formation #FormationFriday

Meet the Fokkers! Flying together this #FormationFriday are WWI replicas: the Dr.I in the lead, followed by the D.VII. Both serving near the end of World War I, these aircraft highlight varying approaches to fighter design as triplanes gave way to biplanes, which would eventually be made obsolete by monoplanes. 📸 Connor Madison #Aviation #Avgeeks #WWI #MilitaryHistory

One is a MiG-21, and the other is its “imposter”! In 1969, the U.S. Navy established the TOPGUN training program to prepare pilots for air combat during the Vietnam War. A-4 Skyhawks were the first aircraft used in the program as aggressors, simulating the flight characteristics of opposing MiG-21s. 📸 Michael O'Leary #Aviation #MilitaryHistory #FighterFriday #FormationFriday

Three Christen Eagles in formation? Now that’s a #FormationFriday treat. Captured during AirVenture 2017, this flight was to honored the 40th anniversary of the Christen Eagle II. 📸 Jack Fleetwood #Aviation #Avgeeks #Oshkosh #PlaneSpotting

Known as the “Mojave Mad Monk Squadron,” this formation flew nonstop from Mojave, California, to Oshkosh, Wisconsin, aiming to set a point-to-point record. This mostly Rutan-designed formation followed the same route Burt Rutan took to Oshkosh countless times, showing what’s possible when builders push the boundaries of the unknown. 📸Tyson Rininger #Aviation #Avgeeks #FormationFriday #EAAHomebuildersWeek

How many Texans can you fit in a frame? Jack Tyson says eight. His stunning 8-ship T-6 formation from #OSH22 earned a spot in this month’s FlyBy section of Sport Aviation.

Twist, turn, and roll into this #FormationFriday! This is a throwback to the Northern Stars Aeroteam at #OSH25, where their Pitts Specials routine filled Oshkosh with breathtaking maneuvers and billowing smoke. Their performance was a true work of art in motion! 📸 Al Sauer #Aviation #Avgeeks #Oshkosh #AviationLovers

🪨 Today’s #FormationFriday features the Fallen Stalactite. The Fallen Stalactite once hung from the cavern ceiling but eventually broke free, resting now as a testament to time and transformation underground. 🤯 #LurayCaverns

The @AFThunderbirds are holding it nice and tight this #FormationFriday! These F-16 #Viper pilots are absolute masters of aerial coordination, demonstrating the power, skill, and pride of the United States Air Force. 📷 Connor Madison at Aviation Nation 2025 @NellisAFB #USAF

Flying is always better with friends! Enjoy this #FormationFriday photo with an RV-3 sporting a Gee Bee Z–inspired paint scheme, joined by a Monocoupe 110 sporting a similarly yellow-and-black look. What’s your favorite formation you’ve ever witnessed? 📷 Connor Madison

Happy #FormationFriday! Let’s rewind to #OSH24, where we had the privilege of seeing these T-28 Trojans in action. Which T-28 paint scheme is your favorite? 📸 Scott Slocum #Avaition #photooftheday #Warbird #AviationLovers #Oshkosh

#FormationFriday Let's kick it!

Happy #FormationFriday folks! Today we’re looking at a marvelous formation that can be seen as soon as you venture into the Caverns: The Natural Bridge! There’s nothing like walking under it to start your journey through the rest of the Caverns. 🗺️

Let's kick off this #FormationFriday with a thrilling formation of four Vultee BT-13 Valiants. Serving as faster, heavier, and more complex trainers, these warbirds provided pilots with valuable experience that helped prepare them to fly in combat in World War II. 📷 Jim Koepnick
