As we gain distance from the enemy coast I let our altitude climb slowly and order my wingmen into arrowhead formation for the flight home...

As we gain distance from the enemy coast I let our altitude climb slowly and order my wingmen into arrowhead formation for the flight home and they are soon in position off my wing.
