Although we got close at times, we succeeded miserably. Finally, we gave up, and plowed the planes into the grass.
Mid-air collisions only happen when they are not intended.
It's like trying to intentionally hit a deer. It’s nearly impossible to do.
I had an '83 C20 Chevy that had a brush guard on the front onto which I had mounted my spare tire. When a deer would jump out I would try to keep the big 285-75 X 16.5 centered on the deer to avoid fender damage. I never came anywhere close to hitting one. When you aim where a moving target is, it's gone by the time you get there.
