I noticed this when my TCAS RA ("collision avoidance") bot grouped all 4 aircraft into an "incident" lasting almost an hour, with dozens of RA messages being generated. I was like, WTF. (Aircraft flying in formation, or almost formation, often generate TCAS RA messages).pic.twitter.com/2wPJ8ErWKn

I did wonder if the flights were related to "military training flights in the nation's capital to exercise military response capability", but it feels like they're pretty far from DC. But maybe?https://twitter.com/VOBOE/status/1395039298957844480 …
