We get so used to doing the incredible (NVG formation, night AAR, wingtip formation demos, and a host of other tasks) that we sometimes forget how incredibly difficult and dangerous it can be. These mishaps remind us. Glad that we've had everyone survive these midairs...I know a few midair survivors but also know a few that weren't so fortunate.
