Very.. Armchair quarterbacking I know.. but how does this happen? I see mention of flags (how this racing works isn't something I know anything about).. Multiple officials with visual and radios(?) Stranded pilot with radio(?) Perhaps even the 2 taking off on either side could see ahead and alert guy in the middle of them? (don't know never been in take off such a plane with nose high attitude) Just goes to show.. you can have a ton of things to cover everything you would think of and stuff STILL happens.. Glad both ok..
