Looks photoshopped to me...Originally posted by T.Ryousuke: -
Both these American teams have very standard diamond formations and double solo acts. Quite unimaginative compared to the European 9 ship teams. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure the Thunderbirds and Blue Angels pilots are best of the best and draw gasps and awe from the public wherever they perform. Its just that they stick to more or less the same formations whereas the Europeans have a lot more variety.

The photo is entirely possible, but they are not in vertical alignment. They are diagonally above each other in such a way to appear as vertical alignment to the crowd below.
Look at the pilots' detail, they are not identical. -
wicked~ thanks for clearing that up, sounds perfectly sound to me.
-
It's quite routine for them to do stuff like this...
I like the Blue Angels version as well, where they stick their planes together the other way round, and extend their landing gears to stick outwards both upside and downside.
If my memory serves me correctly that is. -

LOL! they are seperated lar. The the angle which the camera has taken the shot. They do that for airshows as well. They need to bank the a little towards the direction of the crowd. BUT, the distance apart is still a bit too close for my comfort.
Check out this short thunderbird solo vid.

Yes, that indeed happened during an airshow. Read about it in an airplane magazine. Can't remember where though. There were no casualties.
