Redline Airshows Pilots Ken and Austin Rieder land their airplanes in formation at Middletown Ohio in August 2024. According to Ken, the first Formation landing that Redline Airshows did was not scripted or briefed, during one of the very first practice flights that Ken and Jon Thocker did, they flew the briefed routine, and Ken as Lead Pilot said they were complete and landing was next. As he was rolling out of the landing, he looked over and Jon was still right there in formation off his wing, and they did that every flight after, as part of the show. We all miss you Jon!
