In an ideallic setting, a fully manned weyr will number about 330 fighting dragons, along with a
 Queens Wing, and two Weyrling wings, junior and senior. As much to 500 dragons can be in a Weyr
 during a peak time of a pass, but this is also ideallic, and grave improbablity. Most Weyrs are in
 good shape if they can have nine good Wings and some extra riders to make up for any accidents or
 injuries. If a weyr can not make nine wings of twelve riders each (108 dragons), then it is in
 serious trouble. The smallest unit in a Flight is a Wing, composed of thirteen to thirty riders
 that are led by a Wingleader and his wingsecond(s). Three wings make up a Flight, Right, Left, and
 Forward, and are grouped according to strengths, weaknesses, and flexibility. An example Flight is
 pictured below.
