This is the most exciting flight I've been on this year! I was flying inside two of the four Saudi commercial airliners that participated in the Saudi 91st National Day Airshow 2021.
The four Saudi Airliners involved in the formation are:
Saudia B787-9 (Call sign: Falcon 1),
Saudia B777-300/ER in Retro Livery (Call sign: Falcon 2),
Flyadeal A320neo (Call sign: Falcon 3),
Flynas A320 (Call sign: Falcon 4).
On day 1 of the rehearsal, I flew inside a Saudia B777-300/ER Retro 75th anniversary special livery (registration HZ-AK28). The pilots explained the special flying procedure of the formation. The 4 airliners were flying with just 200 feet separation, which requires precision planning and discipline.
On day 2 I flew inside a Flyadeal new A320neo, to film the other formation aircraft. I was treated to some amazing and incredible air-to-air flying footage of Saudia B777 and B787.
The 91st Saudi National Day AirShow was held in Jeddah on 20th Sept, Riyadh on 23rd Sept and Damman on 25th Sept.
