TigerFlight – Honoring a Fallen Hero at the National Military Cemetary
Dear Phil,
The family of Jim Caldwell will never forget the fly over with the missing man formation that honored my husband and their father, grandfather and great grandfather. From the start to finish the ease at which this memorial was executed was flawless. Our service was limited to 30 minutes at the cemetery and as such the timing of the flyover had to be precise and precise it was. Just as our memorial ended and we began to make the announcement and explain the two planned passes we heard the buzz of the approaching planes. Our guests stepped from under the shelter and watched in awe as the four trails of smoke emerged and the first pass was overhead. We then explained that the next pass would execute a missing man formation and moments later when the flight made its pass tears were shed as the third pilot extinguished his smoke and soared high and away into the sun. Afterward, we dried our eyes and many began to replay the entire event on their phones and compare who best captured the moments we will all remember. It was a most fitting tribute to Jim and we cannot thank you and the four wonderful pilots of TigerFlight for making it possible.

The TigerFlight formation flight team, flying former military type single-engine prop aircraft, offers this solemn flyover to honor the service of former military men, women and their families. TigerFlight can also provide a flyover for your special events. The flights are performed by veteran military service pilots and civilian specially trained formation pilots.
