Anyone have any other details about this? What aerobatic competition was this? They had footage on the local news last night, and both planes were flying just fine until the trailing one broke the leading one's tail off with its wing. They were in very close formation, and the trailing one descended onto the leading one. The airplane that lost the tail went directly into the water, killing the pilot. ![]() video it sure looks like the surviving pilot caused the accident, and did so in a very reckless manner. Even in the context of a competition, the trailing pilot was formed up with the leading pilot in a very dangerous position (even in the fatal '96 Reno accident I saw, the initial formation itself wasn't that close).
