Air to Air Frequency

IMHO, if people need an air to air frequency for formation flying etc, then they ain't doing it properly! Those who NEED an Air/Air frequency normally get one! Those who just want to compare notes really dont need one..

Quite - its because of not doing it right we might need to communicate dreckly with each other and not via an ATCO, and how else to you learn to do it properly
In one notable instance a formation I was in lost the leader - he forgot to look to see where we all were and ploughed on regardless. That was his mistake and there was no way of calling him back except via the ATCO
There is a lot of dross on 123.45 but a dedicated frequency is useful
