Yep ... why fly your F-15's in visual LAB when you can fly them 3-4nm apart now and make the formation un-notcheable? That sort of thing (of course, it has its cons)

I'm new here.
After reading this post, I have one more question:
USAF Thunderbird as example:

thunderbird gives aerobatic formation for airshow w/ high difficulty rate.
Is there any kind of those aerobatic formations for airshow w/ high difficulty rate
very useful in nowadays air combat?
e.g. 1. 4 v 4 or 8 v 8
2. in different distance: bvr, close combat
3. different situation: approaching or leaving

Or those are just for airshow?

thanks

They're just for the airshow. Utterly useless in a fight.
