Notes:

Polish Fitters showing the different wing sweep positions: the lead airplane is keeping the wings at the maximum sweep (thus reducing aerodynamic drag at transonic and supersonic speed), while the wingman is keeping them at the minimum sweep (improving maneuverability at low speed and decreasing stall speed, but increasing aerodynamic drag). AIR 14 Payerne - Swiss Air Force 100th Anniversary.
