The planes hit during the transition from the cool down lap onto base. Number 14 was on base and #6 merged into him. The #14 plane went in 600 yards from us. Thankfully it hit centered between the houses and the RVs and spectators at the fence. Two hundred feet either direction and the outcome would have been far worse.
