Information About

Diamond Formation




At least four aircraft are required for this formation. The largest number of sixteen (1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 2, 1) is known as a "tight formation". Rarely attempted on Jet Aircraft , this feat was first achieved by the Pakistan Air Force in 1964 on U.S. -made F-86 Saber s. It is considered a difficult formation as the aircraft have to fly very close to each other, and the closer the planes are together, the more authentic is the formation. Similarly, the larger the number of aircraft, the higher the Risk involved (as compared to other formations).
