Gary,
I can chase you also. My annual is coming up in October so we'd have to
work around that.

It sounds like you'll need a plane with a Vne at least 220 mph based on what
Gary said. That would take a Bonanza or Columbia or some such. The V35B
has a Vne of 225 mph and the A36 is 234mph. I wouldn't even think of flying
a 30 year old one that fast unless the air was extreemly smooth and
conditions were right. It would take a dive in the Bonanza to even get to
220 mph. Doing that in formation (loose) with a diving Grumman while trying
to watch the airspeed indication, etc. would prove quite interesting!

Thanks Dan. Are you ready to get all of your instruments certified?
It could be fun. I won't be using my plane, but another, more stock
Tiger. It should be interesting to see how fast I get to 200 mph.

Good point, how tight a formation/chase are we talking here? I don't have
my formation training yet. Yes, that would be a dive in the Bo for sure.
What sort of things is one trying to observe from the chase plane?

The chase plane, calibrated, is used to verify the dive speed. It has
to be flown in failrly close formation.
I did some of the 'company' flight testing today. I pushed the nose
over at 9500 feet and by 7000 feet we were at 200 mph. Easing back on
the yoke, recovered by 6500 feet. Piece-'o-cake.
Dan, if you're listening . . . . . . The DER is in Lincoln. It would
be really convient if you could work with us for the testing. And, as
I recall, you've done your fair share of formation flying. Do you
think you could find an F-4 to do formation?
