Thanks, I would have liked if I could.
Prejudice makes me expect military pilots to have more robust training in close formation flying particularly Apaches as I understand close pairs to be a key tactical mode of operation, it was even given as one reason for the AAC getting a fourth simulator.
However, on their rare visits to my neck of the woods Apaches are usually singletons or occasionally trailing pairs with generous separation.
