Well, this is our young brother, Maskapai Virtual Indonesia or MVI with their liveries. With callsign “Maskapai” and their ICAO code is MID, StevenAirspace have made two type of liveries. One with clean simple white colour with “Maskapai Virtual Indonesia” writing on fuselage and with grey colour on the below fuselage, and the other is with full dark grey colour on the whole fuselage with a big logo of MVI crossing the fuselage. The fleet registrations begin with 7X. 7X-MID, 7X-MIE are for the classics, and 7X-MIG, 7X-MIH are for the heavies Boeing 747. Available for Wilco Boeing 737-400 and PMDG Boeing 747-400 with Pratt and Whitney’s engine.

Formation flying is fun and also dangerous when you’re flying with other aircraft with only a few yards away. For those who trained with good discipline, flying formation with a mission can be an efficient way for two or more aircraft to get to their destination. Of course there are many other reasons to fly formation. To minimize the danger, we must exercise discipline and follow the chain of command in the formation of formations, leader and wingman roles and different responsibilities to ensure aviation safety and success. Here we only discuss for formation flying with two aircraft only.
Discipline
Discipline in formation flying is very important for safety and so that formation flying can be maintained. Formation integrity can be maintained only if the leader has complete knowledge and control the actions of each flight member. The flight leader must accurately explain the formation will be flown along with the responsibility of what should be known by the wingmen who are involved in these formations. Wingman will maintain formation position assigned to the changes determined by the flight leader.
Flight Leader
Flight Leader is the person who commands both on land and in air. He has a general responsibility for planning and organizing the mission, leading the flight, delegating tasks in the flight to ensure the mission is accomplished safely. Flight leader must know the capabilities and limitations of the wingman. Flight leader on the ground will give guidance on the flight plan. He may delegate the task of the flight. Once in the air, he has responsibility for navigation, communication, formation and successful establishment of the mission.
Wingman
The wingman also has important responsibilities. On land they help plan and organize the mission leader. And once airborne, they fly and maintain a set position, to maintain visual contact with aircraft flight leader, responsible for the safe separation distance from the aircraft during flight flight leader, and can back-up navigation tasks.
Before you can master the formation flying as a wingman you must know in what position you should be, depending on the type of aircraft you are and what position you’re flying. You can make reference to “wing-line reference” and a longitudinal reference. Along with these references you need to maintain separation wing tip / nose-tail. Some basic information is; Close formation (see Fig. 1)

Figure. 1
is usually separation of about 3-10 feet laterally, Route Formation (See Fig. 2) – Separation of more than 10 ft to 3 wingspans. Regardless of which position you are, you should always continue to scan all the references. You have to keep checking-line wing and the longitudinal references to ensure safe separation. In close formation of this reference should be cut right through the base of your neck in the entire maneuver.
