The plane may have little or no energy, but that prop sure does.
Sure, but an aircraft going 60, 80 or 100 and swinging a prop 7000 (probably much more rpm in this case) has many times more energy. Also more time to react, with 3D aircraft generally, compared to other errant aircraft. 3d aircraft are much safer than the typical WWII lead sleds doing their impressive strafing runs or a jet burning some worms.
