Brett Hunter, in an RV-6 kit plane, flies under Robert "Tico" LaCerda, going sideways in his Pitts Special biplane, itself only 20 feet off the ground. The slightest mistake by either one and things would be very ugly. Neither one made a mistake, no one was hurt, and the airplanes remained flyable.

There it goes
Is there gas in it?
