I think you need to differentiate between best pilot and best killer with an airplane.

Dick Bong likely wouldn't have gone in with his chute wrapped in the tail of a plane if he had known more about the plane he was flying.

Not these guys!  :bolt:

"these guys" were not at fault...........it was the race start crew who gave the green flag instead of the red flag to abort the start.

"These guys" are Thom Richard, pilot of the Griffon powered mustang "precious metal" and "steve senegal" who has been a reno formula 1 champion with tons of experience.

The planes involved are tail draggers and the tail wasn't yet up on the plane that hit from behind.......so he couldn't see over the cowl and was relying on the crew on the edge of the runway to signal.
