Pretty sweet.

Very cool, but I had to laugh at the name. A little cheesy, don't ya think?

It must be a new thing, used to be called an 8-Ship Delta.

Just need one more and you'll have our 9 Arrow
Looks very cool.
Who's flying 7 and 8?

DO and narrator I'm guessing...sure wasn't me.

Haha, bet you wish you were though, huh Striker.

7 & 8

In the trailer for the movie Smoke On, the VTB were also flying an 8-Ship. But in that formation, aircraft #7 and #8 were flying in the Slot position off the Left and Right Wing aircraft (Smoke On Trailer, check from 0:46).

Haha, thanks for that LD!

Was watching Smoke On, on my PSP this afternoon actually, still love watching it.

I'm over it. Don't even know if I will ever fly for the USAF ever again but we shall see. Everyday is a challenge.

Dacades ago, often the jets would return to Nellis flying one of a variety of eight- or nine- (yes, I did say nine) ship formations.

We paid our homage by flying an Eight-ship outhouse (flown in the F-100D's and T-38's in the mid sixties and late seventies, respectively).
