TAC11, "Saddled! Holding Hands!

[Hamilton]

Hello,

 

During approach after completing the TAC11 I heard:

 

"COLT 1-1,COLT 1-2 Saddled ! Holding Hands ! "

 

 

What was that? What does it mean?

 

 

Thanks.

When you hear that look right and you should see your wingman in close formation with you.

 

SADDLED—Informative call from wingman or element indicating the return to briefed formation position.

 

HOLDING HANDS—Aircraft in visual formation.

Thanks Sabre.

I think it means you are landing in tandem within close proximity. Saddled I think means on the glidepath.

 

EDIT: Sabre, thanks again!
