pecuniumThere's a show on, about stunts.
This guy is diving out of one plane, to catch up to, and then enter another, which is below him.
The bottom plane is nose down, with the motor off, and a drogue out.
The explanations...
1: It's in a vertical stall. It's not, it's in a nose-down dive.
2: It's travelling faster than he is, because it's heavier than he is. No, it needs the drogue because the powered plane was accellerating down, and; even if it weren't, he, and it, accellerate at the same speed, and so he can't catch up.
Sigh.
