Here is a novel idea. Only fly one plane in the air at a time
Dennis,

I have been out many times and to a lot of events with Smitty, and I can guarantee you he has never flown more than one plane at a time !!!! In fact, there were 150+ pilots at that event and I didn't witness any of them flying more than one plane at a time !!!


Dan
Pfffftt..

Puny Humans...I'm flying two jets and posting on RCU while spilling mustard from my sandwich on my Mac, as I post this right now.

<span style="font-size: medium">Hey Guys...A midair is just one of those things. It's not anyones fault; it just happened. Everytime we fly, that's the risk we take to do what we really enjoy. <span style="color: #0000ff">After all, they're just airplanes; I still have two great friends! </span>Looking forward to the tribute flight next year.

looking at the video.. the sky looked pretty crappy that day. they were both basically flying Silhouette's that day. It's good to know that there was NO DRAMA . It was an accident and stuff happens. glad to hear the planes have been replaced and everything is good.

Novel idea, I seriously doubt it ! I dare say there would have been a lot of pissed off pilots if Lewis only allowed one in the air at a time with this many aircraft in the startup area waiting to fly.

Hi Walter,

The new A-7 should be flying in a matter of weeks. The new kit from Fly Eagle has leading edge slats, better reinforcement, and many other improvments. The old A-7 was fantastic, but I'm really looking forward to this one! I hope Scott's new project is coming along as well.
