Eurasian cranes in a V formation (video) Birds flying in V formation. A V formation is a symmetric V- or chevron-shaped flight formation.In nature, it occurs among geese, swans, ducks, and other migratory birds, improving their energy efficiency, while in human aviation, it is used mostly in military aviation, air shows, and occasionally commercial aviation.
The project will cost about $11,000, officials say.

Canada geese fly in a distinctive V-shaped flight formation, with an altitude of 1 km (3,000 feet) for migration flight. The maximum flight ceiling of Canada geese is unknown, but they have been reported at 9 km (29,000 feet). [43] Flying in the V formation has been the subject of study by researchers.
The waterfowl that spend their winter at the Honker Hilton are largely domesticated geese and ducks who escaped from farms and ranches around the area, ultimately finding their way to Gibson Pond.
