Ah, numbers. I had the interesting experience of being the Local Controller at Tengah when Nos. 3 and 75 Sqns RAAF recovered (mercifully VFR) from a flypast at KL. Thirty-four Mirages, including the 2 spares/whippers.

They spaced in 4s on AI on the way in, 5 miles between sections, and broke downwind on AI at ~1 mile trail. “Land in turn, 5 ahead and 4 on”.
VERY professional operators, bless ‘em, even if their beer was cr@p.
