Plane nearly crashes into speedboat!

[Isobel]

Three men had a very lucky escape recently after a small propeller plane almost crashed into them - see the footage in our story: http://www.ybw.com/news-from-yachti...y-crashes-into-a-speedboat-in-argentina-10934

I wonder who was the stand on craft? What do the colregs say?

Tragically this did happen in the eastern solent in the 1980's. It was not realised they had hit a yacht, until they found the bodies wearing foul weather gear.

Aerobatic aircraft making display smoke and slipping.

Completely intentional low passes. Latin macho over doing it as per the stereotype.

Looks like our newest forum moderator could do with a fact checker!

This video has more detail and some stills of repeated passes to over a testosterone orgy.

In this context, the air show by the School of Dexterity "Hangar of Heaven" did paralyze the hearts of the public and fishermen, giving a stunning visual complement. That is, the National Fishing Contest had its formal beginning at 17 am, and will end on Sunday at 8. About 3000 people, including fishermen, prosecutors and members of active forces, are part of the most important fishing competition Argentina and one of the most recognized in the world.
