Vic Break

Having had a reasonable amount of formation time in both pistons and jets, I have never flown in a 'Vic Break.' We would always change to the appropriate echelon on the run-in. Apart from being considered dodgy, the Vic Break is a scrappy looking manoeuvre compared with an Echelon Break.

As can be seen from the video, once the leader had pitched up, he was out of sight to the two other aircraft. Such a shame to lose that beaut Mustang.
