How close do Vipers typically fly during formation flight cross country?

sometimes they fly really close, so that if they're bored, they can open their cockpits for a chat...or pass each other a Coke.

I like to fly inverted the whole way! Or see how many aileron rolls I can do in a minute. But seriously, we typically fly wedge or tactical. As long as we stay within 6000 feet horizontally and 100 vertically either way we're good.

I always take it lightly, no other way to take it Very Happy We run a bit closer but then we fly a bit slower and minimize the inverted stuff. Something about rotors, big fans, and hard earth...

Thanks guys
