Default Midair Collison at Reno

Can't post the details because I'm on my phone, but I'm surprised this didn't make here. Supposedly a mid air, at least one is an L-39 it looks like, missing half the vertical stab and did a gear up landing after. Don't know about the other aircraft, but I'm curious. Both pilots ok, again according the initial story I saw.

Those pilots are very capable and experienced.
It is a dangerous environment to be flying in.

hawgdriver - imagine your 3-6 wingman each competing for the space around you instead of an orderly formation flight where you as the lead are directing most actions.

which sucks, I'm sure between NASCAR and F1 etc just as many spectators have been maimed/killed, but you don't hear calls to ban them.
