have to disagree with this proposal, if you angle two flight lines from each

Frank Grannelli's idea regarding separation which could even be expanded upon
by canting both flight lines 30 degrees from runway-parallel with the right
station canted right(away from left station) and left station canted
left.Landings and take-offs would still be aligned with the runway but the rest
of the flight aligned with the flight-line markers marked on the ground. After
all, how many mid-landing colisions have you observed.Probably would eliminate
99% of all mid-airs and could easily be accomodated at places like Muncie and
probably quite a few others.Might encourage a few of the more timid among us,
who might be reluctant to to put their investment at risk, to put their bird in
the air. <br>

Yes, it is highly useful, in my opinion. I've found myself flying
formation aerobatics several times in IMAC, and was able to call a break.
Judges later said they were relieved that a break was called. Did it
avert a midair? Really can't say, but it made me feel a whole lot more
relieved, and I could concentrate a lot better. <br>
As far as midair avoidance, it's hard to say the avoidance rule did/didn't work
if a midair didn't happen; kind of like trying to say how much crime was
prevented by a certain law/procedure. <br>
Flying pattern, I sure would like to see it. </span></font><font color=black><span

it spoken of. </span></font><font color=black><span style='color:black;

is my observation from limited experience. I've seen several midairs at
contests, unfortunately. Each time was such a shock that no one saw it
coming. In only one case (at the now infamous Temple 2001 where 7 planes
were lost in one contest) were the planes even flying in the same direction.
But even here, neither pilot saw the other until it was too late. Others
of us did, but there wasn't much we could do in the split second before.</span></font><font
