A guy who knew about aerodynamics once commented to me at Pt Mugu airshow about the Mig-19, F-86, and F-18 flying around low. His comment was "talk about dissimilar flight characteristics". I gather in turns and such the planes all handle much different than the others in the formation.

So, keeping station is a piece of work for the pilots.

Also awesome. It must be an honor to fly either of those planes alongside the other.

The 38 is a south pacific combat veteran.I remember when it was pulled out of the jungles back years ago.It was a hell of a lot of work to rebuild.
