Not quite Thunderbirds or Red Arrows, but cool nonetheless--five Airbus A350s flying in formation. A lot of planning was involved, the pilots couldn't see each other while maneuvering:

Yeah, but the fat planes have certain capabilities that the fighter jets don't. For example, in an F-16, try turning off an engine and walking to the back for a cup of coffee.

Can't even do that in an F-14... RIOs hate making coffee.
