We have 7-8 that are really interested in formation.
2 recently took checkrides and passed for formation "cards"
2 that are likely to take checkrides soon
3 coming up the line
1-2 "maybe later's"
On the aerobatics side the numbers might be about the same but with some different players.

John,
I'm an ex-USAF fighter pilot, thus the temptation to do verbal battle (always with tongue-in-cheek). I hope you get that RV and we can meet at 10,000-feet, nose-to-nose and call "fights on" or do some formation aerobatics. I honestly don't miss the fighters. My RV-8 provides all the thrill I need. I have several friends who never flew in the military and their formation skills are superb! If they just knew the "lingo" and were a lot more stupid they could pass for Tom Cruise! 
As for nosewheel vs tailwheel: The performance figures are so close that it really boils down to personnal choice. I have a tailwheel and my home base is a 30-foot wide paved strip. Landings are always a challenge but I like that. And I'm no spring chicken either!
Stay in touch.

Yes, sadly, the WSS airport is now expensive homes. My wife worked for the air taxi service at WSS when she was a teenager. A job I would have loved when I could only dream about airplanes!
LWB is not only very nice but there is very little traffic. Do have to keep up with the executive jets occasionally but the RV holds its own. A nice flying destination for a weekend jaunt with a restaurant in the terminal.
I like "Stormy" for you too. Kinda gives you the image of energy to burn!

Dale- remember that the White Sulphur Springs airport has been closed for years! (I take it you'll fly into LWB, nice place and longest rwy in WV). Enjoy your dinner.
Call me anything you like; I've gotten so used to "Stormy" it feels like I've always had the nickname now...
