        This formation, by far, is one of the most used. Of course, as with any formation, it comes with
 advantages and disadvantages though the former outweight the latter by volumes. As advantages: the
 wingleader is able to see and follow the line of Thread; the larger dragons are able take down the
 brunt of Thread, leaving the smaller and more agile dragons to char any clumps left over as well
 as chase any errant Thread; and the formation itself is easily stackable and varied, making it the
 second most desired formation to use. As disadvantages: The wingleader and seconds can't see
 what's going on behind them without taking their eye off the leading edge (though with an
 experienced group, this is not a problem, per se); and verbal communication is next to impossible,
 though draconic and hand signals are not hindered. However, this formation works well for any
 group with a Wingleader that is most comfortable with working with hand signals or draconic
 communication. It also works well with weyrlings, as judging the space is easily done. The
 formation goes as follows:
