You're a IDIOT
This must be fake too since there is no way they can ride each others tails like that.
With this pic and the "fake" one, how close do they actually get to each other?
USAF Thunderbirds over Chicago.

Within 2 feet in some manuevers. But the tail one they aren't too close considering some of the other moves.
I've read 18" is the min target distance in some manuevers...certainly within 2 feet for sure...which is nuts. The impossible proximity of many shots of the Thunderbirds and Blue Angels is due to the distance compressive effects of telephoto lens. Still it takes Big Brass Ones and A LOT of Talent to do what they do.
Wow, there are quite a few ignorant people and opinions popping up in this thread.
It is 18" depending on the manuever. I'm not sure which one that is though.
Great shots. I'm lucky enough to work in Downtown Chicago and we got to see most of them practicing before the show as they flew right over our heads.
Awesome
I go every year. Amazing shots!
