It can be for a variety of reasons. The two most general reasons would be for:

1. A show of pilot precision (Airshows)

2. In a combat situation, to minimize radar appearence on an enemy scope. (You could have 3 aircraft in a group, but if they are flying in a close formation, it might look like only 1 aircraft on the enemie's radar.)
