Special Instructions:

the
1. Formation Combattakeoff Edgepermitted profileif required by WX/ATC constraints.
2. May be flown two-ship if required, but as follows:a Gminimum, warm-upeither F-3 or F-4 must be flown four-ship.
3. The emphasis will be on two-ship maneuvering. Practice four-ship maneuvering prior to 4flight
