Anyone who believes that a mid-air collision is the "fault" of another pilot has obviously never tried to fly combat! How can you blame someone for an accident when they couldn't have even done it on purpose? All mid-air collisions are acts of God...
Not true in several instances. 1. C/L Combat 2 When AMA 704 combat first started out where if you had a mid-air and U survived U received an extra 50 points. A club I fly with in Arizona, during their Noon Show, they try to have mid-air combat with WWI Electric fomey type planes and with 3 or 4 in the air they have come close but no Cigar.
But in any reasonable world yes Mid-Airs are an act of God. That with standing just like auto accidents there can/and is the possibility of Negligence.
