Exactly...

You can't do any manoeuvres when you're that close together.

The couple of feet apart that the Reds fly is still very impressive in itself, then they throw in moves like Whirlwind (formation 9-ship aileron roll and change of formation), Twister (single Red barrel rolling around the formation) and Rollbacks (5-ship formation with positions 2 & 4 barrel rolling from inside to outside, positions 1 & 5 moving outside to inside to fill the gap) all close-formation dynamic displaying in front of the crowd line
