WARBIRD FORMATION CLINIC
NATA/SHAF Warbird Formation Clinic
October 11 - 14, 2023
KTVR (Vicksburg-Tallulah Regional Airport)
Flying in formation is a an effective way to showcase your NATA aircraft at public events and airshows. The public gains an appreciation for the way these aircraft were flown when they were still being flown by military pilots. Flying formation is also very rewarding for pilots and is a fun way to enjoy your warbird! Formation flying also requires discipline and skill, and should not be attempted without proper training.
NATA is signatory to the Formation and Safety Team (FAST), a worldwide, educational organization dedicated to teaching safe formation flying in restored, vintage military aircraft and civilian aircraft. It is comprised of seventeen signatory organizations and more information is available at www.flyfast.org.
NATA offers formation training and issues FAST formation credentials for several aircraft types, including T-6/SNJ/HVD, T-28, P-51 (fighters) and B-25 (bomber/transport). Pilots wishing to earn their FAST credentials through NATA must first join NATA as a Formation Member, and then complete our Formation Training Program. NATA hosts formation training clinics several times each year where trainees can progress through the program at their own pace. Instructor Pilots and Check Pilots are present at these Clinics, and when a trainee successfully passes a check ride, a FAST card is issued. FAST qualifications are available for Wingman, Flight Leader, and Check Pilot.
By joining us, or upgrading to a Formation Member, members have access to our formation training materials, the formation discussion forum. You must have a NATA membership to participate in the clinics: Please use this link to contact membership@flynata.org.
AN EDUCATIONAL EVENT FOR ALL AGES FREE ADMISSION!
The CAF, Rise Above Traveling Exhibit is coming BACK to the Southern Heritage Air Foundation & the Vicksburg-Tallulah Regional Airport this October!
(DUE TO LIMITED DAILY SEATING - RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED)
Be Inspired. Be Informed. Be Motivated.
FREE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES, COURTESY OF THE CAF RISE ABOVE SQUADRON, ARE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE LINK BELOW
CAF RISE ABOVE Squadron (formerly known as the CAF Red Tail Squadron) is a three-fold educational outreach program that brings the history and legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen and Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) to life in communities and classrooms everywhere. What the Tuskegee Airmen and WASP had in common – and what made them ultimately succeed – was the ability to recognize that all of the obstacles they faced could be overcome with hard work and dedication. The timeless lessons they teach us about perseverance and courage are just as applicable today as they were in the 1940s.
The program lasts roughly 30 - 40 minutes to present and will be offered at NO CHARGE to all who pre-schedule a time to come and view The Exhibit. (The Traveling Exhibit seats 40 people in the the Theater.)
Schools will have the opportunity to pre-schedule visits to come at scheduled times during the week. Groups, Families and any interested in seeing the Exhibit can pre-schedule a time on the week-end. PRE-SCHEDULING WILL BEGIN IN LATE AUGUST & IS REQUIRED DUE TO LIMITED SPACE & TIMES!
