JediMaster 451 Posted October 10, 2014 It looks like the LJ pilots lost sight and made overly-large corrective actions to attempt to regain formation. It says the EF maintained constant motion, so if the lead plane isn't maneuvering, the trailing plane is, and they collide...says trailing plane mistake to me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
