Just imagine the organisation and logistical problems it would ttake to get just two long-haul airliners to do this,not to mention inter-company rivalries.
But to get a group of them?
What routes are dense enough to do this?
It'd take hours to get the formation together!
And the press hysteria about collision risk?

I checked the date, it's nowhere near April. What's going on? Something brought on by all those mushrooms this fall?
