How to FLY in the WORLD'S LARGEST FORMATION

Prepare to fly in formation with 130 other airplanes to the busiest airport in the world! Go inside the training behind the Bonanzas to Oshkosh mass arrival formation flight.

See what it's like to prepare for a massive formation flight to Oshkosh, the world's largest fly-in. Formation flying demands skill and dedication, with in-depth briefs and debriefs of every detail before and after each flight and constant vigilance throughout, but it's some of the most rewarding and beautiful flying you can do.

And a huge thanks to Luke Jensen, everyone at the KBAF B2OSH clinic, and KBAF ATC!

I've been flying since I was 16 and at age 19 flew around the world by myself in the same 1981 A36 Beechcraft Bonanza I still fly, becoming the youngest person ever to solo circumnavigate by aircraft.

Now, I'm sharing all kinds of aviation adventures with YOU! Ride along as we explore the world from the air and get a close up look at some of aviation's best flight experiences and destinations. I'm aiming to share the most immersive aviation content you've ever seen (and always complete with cockpit/ATC audio) and showcase the utility of general aviation with some awesome GA travel vlogs as well.

imagine being the lead in that big formation and calling up atc with a flight of 130
definitely a bucket list item

Two Bonanzas fascinate us by a very beautiful scenery from different view points. It is like fighter airplane in tight formation .

As a tower controller who's worked ATC at OSH, I appreciate this side of the training as much if not more than the full formation and mass arrival. It's really fun to see the airborne formation video footage up close. It really makes the Bo look sexy! Maybe I'll try and come out to the next NE clinic!

Matt I have enjoyed watching your videos so much. Spent most of today flying with you. Started with the flight across the North Atlantic. Then could not stop watching. Bahamas, Oshkosh ...amazing. Fly Safe

[abrahamweiss]

I have seen people fly in for this looking out on the Chicago waterfront. Seeings sometimes 10-15 small aircraft doing a fly-by of the skyline and heading north up the shoreline is an epic sight and I cannot imagine flying with them.

awesome video and that runway at the end looks like a squadron of Corsair ready on the deck of an aircraft carrier during world war II

[crew-rest]

Awesome video, you guys look great! Good luck in the big one to Oshkosh!

[ozziecat]

Really great video! I can't make it to Airventure this year, but I'm loving all the vids about it! Can't wait for the next one.

[challengeraircraftadventures]

Nice video capturing the subtleties of formation flying. Looking forward to your next video with all those Beachcraft swarming Oshkosh.

[emanuelrodriguez]

Dude always has Perfect landing. I'm always watching to see how he lands and how bumpy it gets but it's always smooth.

[ThorNjord]

Awesome! Can't wait to see next week! Thanks for awesome contributions to YouTube aviation content Matt.

[sonnicman]

That was awesome, and at my home airport as well. Really surreal seeing you both land on 20 at the same time! Can't wait for the air show next month and having the Thunderbirds visit.

[alschwartz]

okay that seems like one of the coolest things ever

[mikercflyer]

That was awesome I can imagine what it takes to be a blue angel to fly the formations they do. Anticipating some great videos from Oshkosh.

[travismishler]

I've done the B2OSH clinic 3 times now, but have not been able to make it to Oshkosh yet... have fun!

[rcohen]

Your videos are amazing ! Do you edit them yourself ? If so, you're the best !

[wowpeter]

Excellent, that's must be an awesome experience!!!

[marindelgado]

Wow awesome video thnk you for sharing

[waywarde]

Awesome I'd rather fly with you than an regular airline.

Doubt you'll respond since this video was almost a year ago, but will you be going to OSH18 in the B2OSH formation? I go (not with B2OSH) almost every year with my grandfather in his Bonanza and we get parked pretty close to you guys. Would like to meet you.
