http://news.stv.tv/tayside/282807-pi...de-in-mid-air/ My first take on the story was that control was lost after the collision and that he just happened to be inverted when he exited. Based on the numbers given he lost 600 feet after the collision. Do aerobatic-versed pilots plan this inverted exit strategy in advance? It seems rather fast and efficient.
