Hi,
Second research question: how long does it take a group of warbirds to get into a strike formation?
If a carrier launches a group of Avengers or Kates, how long does it take that group of planes to form up and head out on a strike? How does this time vary depending on the number of planes in the group?
For example, if three planes form up it might take them X minutes, but if 20 planes form up, it might take them Y minutes. I'm looking for real-world data that report X and Y with experienced pilots, and assuming good weather and no mishaps.
Thanks,
-Ken
