As a pilot myself , Idk why that guy came ripping up on that b17 or why they weren’t at staggered altitudes. Usually in formation of any kind there assigned altitudes slightly off. Not second guessing the guy but usually they’d be at similar speeds.
My friend who flys air shows says they run an inside loop for fighter type and an outside loop for the big stuff. I can tell you it can be tough seeing all planes in a regular pattern and many accidents happen on clear beautiful days.
Sad day for all involved. Flying. Small planes can be dangerous have many friends who have crashed
