Fighter aircraft often fly in formation for a variety of reasons, including safety and efficiency of flight operations. Formations allow pilots to coordinate their movements and optimize airspace utilization, thereby reducing the risk of mid-air collisions. In addition, training also helps pilots optimize fuel consumption and maximize flight time by reducing aerodynamic […]
