Yes, they do practice.
Steve Hinton, who was piloting the Glacier Girl, has flown these kinds of formations many times before.
I did not use a long telephoto, to avoid the flattening effect of a long tele lens.
I pushed the "film" speed (it is a digital SLR, but you can change the ISO) and closed the lens down as far as I could. Both of these actions tend to further diminish the telephote effect. If you notice, all three planes are in fairly sharp focus (that's the result of a narrow lens opening).
The planes were in very close formation.
