Any suggestions on locations, routes, plane groupings, and times certain would be appreciated.

I believe the best setting would be a team battle (so as not to let the auto-gunners have a field day) with one unlucky sort drawing the straw to fly alone or in a small group apart from the formation. Perhaps a lone German fighter to muck the formations up a bit/ take photos would be in order. Please add your suggestions.

To begin with, I'd much like to call out all of the B-17 folks for some historic formation flying over the channel/ dover. A few little friends escort would be highly anticipated as well. See the links for some visuals. http://www.303rdbg.com/formation.html, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combat_box

Ideally I would like to have a catalog of each plane in a historic formation/ setting. Let me know your level of interest and I'll try to coordinate.

Guys, do you think you can make a video for me and the rest of you, that you are flying your B-17s and dropping Bombs on your target and place it on Youtube? - that would be sweet for me, since i dont have the B17 yet..? ^^
