And, if they are doing it right, the right wingman is just as close, both

When they are straight and level, you are correct.

However, on a 'parade' pass, like this one,the positions are slightly
off center. All the wingmen offset, to the right in this pass, to
make the formation appear more 'correct' from the crowd's perspective.
