Recommend FAST training for all involv= ed. Looks fun but can be deadly.

Ed,

Wake turbulence is no joke. &= nbsp;The AirForce just lost an MC-12 (King Air 350) after trying to land beh= ind a C-17 in Bagram AFB, Afghanistan. The King Air was found pancaked= in about a mile from the runway and facing 180 out from the landing directi= on. No survivors.

I will attach this common s= ense FAA AC that you may or may not have read.

As far as mixed formation. Don=E2=80=99t recommend it unless carefu= lly briefed and all players are experienced/current formation flyers. = In the Navy even with experienced guys on both aircraft, near disasters have= been more common that not. Typical Jets looking at King Air and T-34C= gear status and the reverse have occurred.
