Read the full NTSB narrative

DURING A FORMATION FLIGHT ONE AIRPLANE MANEUVERED TO THE LEFT AND BELOW THE OTHER AIRPLANE. AFTER THEIR POSITIONS WERE ATTAINED, THE LOWER AIRPLANE ROLLED HIS AIRPLANE INTO A STEEP TURN TO THE RIGHT. THE AIRPLANE IN THE TURN COLLIDED WITH THE OTHER AIRPLANE. THE PILOTS REPORTED THEY WANTED PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE MANEUVER. BOTH PILOTS WERE COMMUNICATING BY MEANS OF THE AIRCRAFT RADIOS.
