Pretty Cool Formation Shot - UK
Yesterday had the privilege to work with some very long time friends over at Starspeed and shoot a few of their machines in formation. Well briefed a number of times before we did it and nailed it I know many of you mil and ex mil guys will say yes but X is out of position etc but for a bunch of civvies I personally think it looks **** hot
Love the English countryside to shoot over, some amazing scenery with all the old homes and properties. Well done to everyone involved.

Great photo.
What's do you use as your "go to" setting for aerial helicopter shots; Shutter Priority with speed set to something like 1/250sec?
... I'm an amateur/hobby photographer and just curious.

RMK - I shoot always at either 80th or 100th of a second, nothing faster than 1/125th as then you stop the blades and thats something I personally hate.
Rotorspeed - yep lot of planning, good briefs and very careful execution.

Below the Glidepath - not correcting
Not only is it great formation flying, but in the military we generally cheat by using the same aircraft type whenever possible, so all the position keeping cues are the same. There aren't 2 aircraft the same here, so extra points for the difficulty factor!
Military....and the RAF I believe Crab meant to say!
Actually the massed approaches with the AAC was what I was thinking of - 80-ship line abreast anyone?
