I might be being dense here... Fighter jet? We don't work on fighter jets.
As far as the tailgating with those, or any other aircraft, bad things happen when that happens. Uncontrolled roll overs, engines going out, flat spins. Not good.
That being said, the military does have minimum interval take offs (MITO). Like 9 seconds between aircraft in the cold war days. Now, I think it's 30 seconds. Wake turbulence from the aircraft ahead of the other being the limiting factor.
I thought you worked on military aircraft...
It was just announced....
