    Are these planes worth a trillion? What threat are they aimed at?

    BTW, a retired Admiral friend asked the same question. Can you imagine how much a squadron will cost?

    A school of fish. A pride of lions. A gaggle of geese. What do you call a squadron of airplanes?

    No, a flight is two or more aircraft more or less in formation, ie flight of 2, flight of 4, etc.
