This is the moment the US Air Force’s Thunderbirds team flies in such close proximity that the pilots can “count the rivets” on their colleagues’ planes.
Thunderbirds, the US Air Force’s premier air demonstration team, shared the video on social media last week with the message: “Counting rivets at 350 knots!
“During the Diamond Pass in Review, our jets can be as close as 18” apart while traveling at almost 400 miles per hour!
“Definitely close enough to start counting rivets from the perspective of Thunderbird 4!”
