Why do it if it's not fun?

Just an idea:

Does anyone out there have any real formation-flying experience? If so, would you be happy to organise a formation flight for any pilots who wanted to take part?

From my very brief attempts at formation-flying, it is quite hard work, and I obviously don't intend to put any pressure on anyone to participate if they don't feel up to it. (Unless there's an experienced pilot who wants to brief us very thoroughly first, I won't participate myself if there are more than 3 aircraft involved.)

If the guys with experience of this kind of thing come back and say it's completely impractical for inexperienced pilots to fly in a moderately-sized formation, then we'll scrap the idea! But if the experts reckon it could be done safely, I think it would be fun!

Any other ideas for activities? Apart from the flying in and socialising, which will obviously be the main attraction!
