pretty tight ...

No, you definitely would not want to hit any turbulence. The rules they have for performing a show are strict and if the prevailing weather conditions do not conform to the rules, they either change the performance or cancel the show. They do fly a super tight formation. The leader is in charge, he makes all the decisions, all other eyes stay on the leader. If the leader makes a mistake, everyone suffers the consequences.
 
yeah the old prop job lawn mower had to be moved to the shed. note its a 2 stall garage so my car is in the other stall.

Looks like your car is a bit underpowered. A big Carrier like car like that needs more omphh than a normal car.

A few years back the whole formation went into the ground. Leader must have goofed up.

What is "SNAVY"? ;-)

Nope, that was not the Blue Angels. That was the 1982 USAF Thunderbird team as they were practicing before the beginning of their show season. A mechanical problem with the leaders T-38 resulted in him not pulling out of a dive, the rest of the group followed him into the ground. At this point, the Thunderbirds skipped the 1982 season and started the 1983 season in the F-16
