ULTIMATE HIGH FLIES WORLD RECORD CIRRUS DIAMOND 9 FORMATION

Sep 2008

After the success of the Cirrus "Six over the Severn" trip in May, we gathered nine aircraft, pilots and instructors in order to put together a Diamond 9 formation. The Cirrus pilots unfamiliar with formation flying attended Ultimate High's basic formation course on the Bulldog before practising 5-and 4-ship Cirrus formations.

After a detailed brief from Formation Leader Steve "Nouj" Noujaim, the crews lined up on Runway 08 and slipped the surly bonds of earth. Two separate photoships took some glorious photos despite the poor visibility and the 9 aircraft - a record for Cirrus and probably the largest ever number of people to participate in a 9-ship - overflew Kemble before splitting into 2 elements for the run and break.

Flying the Press / TV Filming:

Our display pilots are extremely experienced in operating and dealing with the media as we often work closely with producers to create bespoke programmes. We have worked directly with many TV companies including the BBC, ITV (various channels), Nickelodeon, Nuts TV others.

We have on-board digital video recorders with camera mounts on the wings, nose, cockpit and tail-fin of the aircraft. The performance and agility of the Extra300 aircraft makes this a superb camera ship.

For newspapers, in the run up to an event, we can offer advance photo-news stories to all your local media. If required, we can also arrange press flying, including broadcast quality video that can be used directly by TV.

We can offer prizes which can be flown at our Advanced Flying Training Academy at Kemble.
