Oldie but goodie. I believe this formation was organized by the late Reverend Sun Myung Moon.  It is based on his mass wedding format.

A pilot might have gotten away with that in the old days but not today. I bet that is photoshopped.

That's the point where I would lean past the person in the window seat and say, "Look the wings are bending!", just to see if they are white knuckle fliers.

The B-52's wings flex 14 feet at the tip. I used to love to point out the window on a turbulent day with a new copilot. Even though he had been taught about it in class, it's a whole different thing to see it happen in flight!

When they tried to roll the B-52 into the Darwin aviation museum, which is pretty much just a large hanger, it wouldn't fit as they had measured it up to fit a fully fueled B-52 and this one had empty tanks.
