Default Mid-air SAVE!

Me and a friend of mine were flying together at a field one day and decided to try some formation flying. He was in the lead with his T-34 and I was about 3-5 feet back on his left side with my P-51. We were doing good for a while through turns and everything until we passed in front of us, left to right, and began to turn left, he drifted low and I drifted high. Well, needless to say, with my new p-51 w/46fx I tore through him like a skill saw through balsa! I completely tore the left half of his stabilizer clean off along with the left half or the elevator and too. It sent him in to a spiral and I leveled out and climbed away. As half of his stab was falling to the ground he managed to regain control and land it in the middle of the run way with a perfect 3 point landing. Still can't seem to talk him in to trying it again. Wuss!!
