Well, then how close were they?

I was there, and while they were not flying wing tip to wing tip, they nevertheless flew in a very tight formation.

These guys are no Blue Angels, or Thunderbirds, but they did fly in very close formation.

The F-15 is twice as long as the P-51. At 37 (or 38 feet) the P-38 and the P-51 are pretty close in size. The proportions ar ento that far off in the pic.
