"The Lear was over a taxiway and climbed out to get back in the pattern for its landing. All of this was very precisely preplanned, and to my knowledge met with the airline’s ops requirements. It did require that both pilots had formation flying skills that are not practiced in normal airline flying."

The Lear pilot would have been Clay Lacy. A legend. If I had the tinyiest fraction of his capabilities I would be a so much better pilot than I am now. Dammit!
