Watch Chilling Moment Air Force Thunderbird Evades Possible Mid-Air Collision

A terrifying moment was caught on cameras when one of the US Air Force's Thunderbirds performed an evasive move in mid-air, fearing a possible collision.

Footage captured from a news helicopter shows that during a flight in a tight formation, the leader of the group makes a little adjustment to the right, followed by a similar move by Thunderbird 3.

However, it then shows that the pilot of Thunderbird 6, the rightmost aircraft in the formation, suddenly breaks away to avoid a potential collision.
