The crowd searched the picture perfect blue sky while in search of the planes that were somewhere above. The sound of airplanes approaching from behind caught their attention. Many turned just in time to see the three tiger-striped painted planes shoot overhead while one peeled slightly off and flew out of sight. Several people clapped, some waved and others placed a hand over their hearts and dipped their heads as they recognized the missing man formation that was being flown during the Veterans Day Parade in Rome, Georgia.
The missing man formation that had just been flown was done so by pilots of the Tiger Flight Foundation Formation Flight Team, commonly called Tiger Flight. The foundation, team and museum are based in Rome, Georgia at the Richard B. Russell Airport (RMG).
