Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a white blur and then saw a huge splash near my fly. One of the airplanes had lost control, run out of gas, and quietly crashed next to my fly!

I was fishing out of my kayak in Long Island Sound near Fishers Island, NY.
Two real stunt planes were having their fun with a simulated dog fight.
One of the planes buzzed me, lost control and crashed.
The pilot died.
