I flew for 5 years and never even saw a mid-air. Then I had one, which annihilated my Laser Models Laser 3D. Then, the next week, I had another mid-air with the same other pilot, which killed my Burrito. That was about 5 years ago. So I guess I am due for another two.

And yes, if you tried to hit another airplane in flight you would not be able to!
