this is an infinitely extendable formation of ΗΗΗ moving up with 5 frames per step.  
  
the first is an ordinary ΗnΒ.  
  
the second is the same ΗnΗ carrying a ΗnΗnΗ (the latter is not a stable dff on its own, it needs support to work!)  
this one can be seen in  Arno 's old cave "flying kites 2" already (top 5-fly formations).  
  
the third is another extension to ΗnΗ + ΗnΗnΗnΗ, first shown in  nesdori 's cave "new 6-fly dff:s".  
  
then comes the 7-fly version, shown in  nesdori 's cave "7-fly dffs".  
  
and the rest is the result of good old pencil-and-paper work to figure out that and how arbitrarily many more ΗΗΗ can be added! :d  
  
all formations have in common that almost all the ΗΗΗ move through the whole formation during a long loop! the only three ΗΗΗ which don't take place in this big place-switching are:  
| the carrying ΗnΗ (the two top-left ΗΗ)  
| one of the rightmost ΗΗΗ (bob).  
  
short/ long loop: 5 / 5(N-3)  
n = total count of ΗΗΗ.  
  
these formations will be the topic of the next article on  Arno 's forum thread about dancing fly formations! :d
