Attractions Two Pilots Swapping Planes in Air Tipped to Crash, One Plane Swooped Down
ARIZONA, KOMPAS.COM – Two pilots who tried the first acrobatic attraction in the world to exchange planes in the air, ending in an accident after one plane turned upside down before falling to the ground on Sunday (24/4/2022) afternoon in Arizona .
In the original plan, parachutists Luke Aikins and Andy Farrington trying to jump from each others planes while in the air abandoned both drones.

They will then exchange vehicles in the air for later make a safe landing with a different aircraft than the current take off.
But that Red Bull sponsored attraction turned into a disaster after both Cessna 182 aircraft move in parallel with the nose dive, which was deliberately done to allow the pilot to jump get out and start plunging.
The plane that Farrington jumped over quickly started spinning outside control dip down.
The movement of that one plane became very inconsistent with the height of the other plane after the two have made the jump.

A LITTLE INSTRUCTION OF THE CAUSE OF THE FALLING
Fortunately, Aikins managed to finish the stunt with his plane alone. But Farrington was forced to parachute into the the ground as his new plane also crashed.
But even in those chaotic times, Farrington managed to stay calm, according to his partner.
Andy is fine, I can hear him talking to me in freefall, said Aikins after landing safely.
