CLOSE FORMATION

Now fully airborne, the two jets in the previous image will fly in very close formation with the pilot of the jet furthest from the camera holding his speed and direction in sync with the lead pilot. Flying at this skill level takes many years of experience and many hours of training flights both in the UK and overseas.
