good evening everyone this is obviously a picture of the italian air
a picture of the italian air
a picture of the italian air demonstration team fréchet thank you
demonstration team fréchet thank you
demonstration team fréchet thank you Laurie and if you look carefully at the
Laurie and if you look carefully at the
Laurie and if you look carefully at the top of the picture the distance between
top of the picture the distance between
top of the picture the distance between one aircraft’s wing tip and the tail of
one aircraft’s wing tip and the tail of
one aircraft’s wing tip and the tail of the aircraft next to it is around 80
the aircraft next to it is around 80
the aircraft next to it is around 80 centimeters yeah I said right 88 0
centimeters yeah I said right 88 0
centimeters yeah I said right 88 0 centimeters
centimeters
centimeters it varies Johnny airshow between 80
it varies Johnny airshow between 80
it varies Johnny airshow between 80 centimeters and 1.5 meters the speeds
centimeters and 1.5 meters the speeds
centimeters and 1.5 meters the speeds are in the average of 300 knots which is
are in the average of 300 knots which is
are in the average of 300 knots which is slightly below 600 kilometers an hour
slightly below 600 kilometers an hour
slightly below 600 kilometers an hour and the next slide please
and the next slide please
and the next slide please when when we do the formation crossings
when when we do the formation crossings
when when we do the formation crossings the distance between the two formations
the distance between the two formations
the distance between the two formations is a few meters and the relative speed
is a few meters and the relative speed
is a few meters and the relative speed is above a thousand kilometers an hour
is above a thousand kilometers an hour
is above a thousand kilometers an hour how do we do that a lot of people ask me
how do we do that a lot of people ask me
how do we do that a lot of people ask me yeah here’s a formation crossing a lot
yeah here’s a formation crossing a lot
yeah here’s a formation crossing a lot of people ask me hey yeah you must have

I’ll tell you a little story about this
I’ll tell you a little story about this when I started flying commercial
