Daily Question 40

Missing man formation

The missing man formation is an aerial salute performed as part of a flyover of aircraft at a funeral or memorial event: typically in memory of a fallen pilot. The missing man formation is often called "the missing man flyby".

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_man_formation

The Red Baron was the first recorded pilot to be honoured in this fashion.
