Doing some of the formation flying, stunts, etc. is getting troublesome. I was hearing at ERAU DAB, flight instructors are going out and doing this kind of stuff with little training.
This especially worries me because of the amount of people that could be hurt on the ground and in the air in the DAB area. I have heard stories of some the flight intructors getting scared when they are doing these maneuvers. They were even doing this for events like the Wings and Waves 2003 this past fall.
This is an accident waiting to happen for these instructors that are not trained at DAB.
Sorry to here about the Prescott news, I was wondering what happened, I say a brief picture on the news and recognized the ERAU tail, but didn't here the story.

Agree. In fairness, the PRC accident involved two men with heavy training in formation flying anf aerobatics, but in reference to the average-Joe CFI doing this with no training, I fully agree. More explained here:
