Wow, that's great news FC.

Yes, that's what i was hoping for - maybe a formation takeoff in pairs would be too much to ask for but it'd be lovely to see the aircraft arranged as a series of 'kette' so that we have effectively two offset lines - it would have the benefit of (a) looking like the real deal, (b) taking up less of the runway distance (not generally a problem if you're only in a flight of fighters but it's a serious consideration if you're at the head of a heavily laden squad of bombers and have your escorts lined up behind!) and (c) being offset it would be far easier to tell if in closed pit if there is an a/c in front of you and when the aircraft in front has cleared sufficiently for you to takeoff.

Be great to see it - if it's possible. Best of luck!

Look forward to it. Cheers FC!
