Winter training, 2017-8. New routine? ?

Well, not really but the subject line got your attention. ;)

This week saw the Team up as a nine & on several occasions flew as a seven ship formation. Lots of formation changes and runs-in nicely tight and beautifully spaced.

New routine? This is tongue in the cheek.
Generally one or two of the crew/passengers will wave in response to the watchers at gate 8.

For the first time (in my experience over the last ten years) the Team & back-seaters have all responded with a sequential wave. Obviously it is not co-ordinated (yet :roll: ) but it was an nice touch.

Good to see several cars containing youngsters even though the temperature was low and the wind gusting in the high twenties or more.

The website is still "under repair" but probably the FaceTwits have full info of the Team's progress.
