Eli5 why do military planes fly in a formation

843 views

Does it have specific tactical advantages or is it just cool?

Edit to add: what about specific types of formations, like a Flying V vs a Diamond vs whatever else they can do?

This is a cool ELI5 post as I live near a Navy Base and see these jets flying in formation ALL the time.
