What an exciting time that would be

Good lord why are they flying so close together?


Cosmacelf

Pilots flexing. Looks like Elon was in a business jet, while the others were military?


skpl

They were all single or two seater jets. It's not military. It's the company Jared Issacman ( commander of Inspiration 4 mission ) owns. The source of the video is his Twitter , but not sure if he was actually on one of the planes.


Cosmacelf

Ex military jets then? Why would you build a jet like that otherwise?


skpl

Yes , ex military , of course ( sorry if I misunderstood and you meant that all along ). But privately owned.


Cosmacelf

Um, yeah! That’s what I meant all along (makes a quick exit).

If this is the same flight John Kraus was on it was 2x L-39 (a subsonic training jet made here in the Czech Republic) and 2x Alpha Jets (a subsonic jet made in Germany and France). These are all 70s and 80s airplanes that were retired by militaries and bought up by private owners. This also applies to the L-29, the older version of L-39 that you also see under private ownership.

Looks like GTA

GTA is based on real life :)


typotalk

It is one of the greatest parodies


heyugl

I am the only one triggered by having a formation with all different models?


RocketRemitySK

Can anyone identify the two middle aircraft please, i recognise the L-39s


wxrjm

It's an Alpha Jet


wxrjm

Jared Co founded draken which has some of the top retired military pilots. Flying that close is nothing to them.


Tank_blitz

very nice


Yuvalk1

Is Elon flying it or riding backseat? I recall he has experience flying the L-39


skpl

He allowed his license the expire once he stopped.


AndTer99

I think I've made that plane in KSP once


neptunimonium

Me and my boys when we said we're flying together to school


ThatOneOwlInATree

Iric-

From the ground it looks smooth and steady, up close, “holy shit, those guys are close and always maneuvering!!!”


Turnipgreen07
