Brent is from SkyManor in NJ and his 12 has been flying since Jan. He is narrowing down the paint scheme and the samples I saw, she will be beautiful bird.

Great video! Just wondering, is it perfectly okay for one plane to start to takeoff while the other planes are already on takeoff roll on the runway and already lifting off? I thought you have to hold short until the other plane took off and is on initial climb out?
Maybe it is only okay if you are in formation flying?
A little confused on that.

Pre-arranged on the ground formation takeoff (flight of 3) - each plane is side-stepped left and right of center in formation. # 2 doesn't go till air is under the tires of 1#, etc.. Also a wide runway. Radio is from the lead ship announcing flight of 3 ...
"The FAA defines formation flying requirements in FAR section 91.111: “Operating near other aircraft. (a) No person may operate an aircraft so close to another aircraft as to create a collision hazard. (b) No person may operate an aircraft in formation flight except by arrangement with the pilot in command of each aircraft in the formation. (c) No person may operate an aircraft, carrying passengers for hire, in formation flight.” For me, the definition of formation flying is operating aircraft relative to one or more aircraft.
The formation flight briefing is usually done by the lead pilot and includes all aspects of the flight profile such as weather, airport and communications information, potential issues (e.g., dissimilar airplanes), takeoff and join-up procedures, flight route, maneuver profile, landing operations and emergency procedures. Communications are extremely important to safely conducting a formation flight and must be understood by all flight members"
