Yepper boy that's damn close. They are GOOD.

According to their website... they approach 18 inches wingtip to canopy separation during the famous "blue angel diamond" ... that's pretty tight...  ;D

Check here for the another very close flying formation team:


Albeit Tbh the Blue Angels vids I saw looked very close. But from memory, (IIRC) the Red Arrows score the closest average formation.

BTW at home, all Apacheclips links buffer like crazy.  :-\




Thanks, see you when my net connection is repaired. De-fekt. >:(

18 inches from wing tip to canopy in some formations.........

There are none better!...... But I'm prejudiced.
