7 Vultures as well, scared the poo out of me!
Hmm this is very intriguing.
I've played RES sites for hours on end since the 1.2 update and never seen more than 3 in a wing.
I wonder if they are limited to Signal Source areas and Conflict zones then...
I had assumed 4 was the max due to the restriction on player wing sizes. Slightly surprised there is a difference, though.

In Beta, I actually saw a wing of three or four NPCs flying in formation in supercruise near the hyperspace exit in one frontier system. Quite disturbing.
I interdicted a Wanted sidewinder that was in a wing of 4 last night. I pulled him out of SC and about 30 seconds later his pals jumped in. Interestingly, they did not engage, they watched us fight it out. Once I destroyed my target the rest of them turned tail and fled. There were also 3 system security vipers that jumped in about 2 minutes into the fight. I thought it was going to turn into a furball but the wingmates all ran.
There is a difference because they are not really in a wing: the AI has just been updated so they look to be in one. If and when FD get around to let us hire NPC wingmen, then those wings will be 'proper'.
