LESSON NOTES
Point out that when in cruise formation, the wingman assumes a greater
responsibility for maintaining lookout doctrine. The wingman should scan the
area from the nose to past the wing in the direction of the lead. The lead
should adjust his lookout doctrine by placing more emphasis in the direction of
the wingman.
