view to watch the race, so dave decides to bring his camera up. >> we were on top of the tower on the roof and i was just shooting just footage of, like, everything that was around, and then i noticed that there was a bunch of these old warplanes that were taxiing over here on the runway and they were about to take off. >> sometimes we'll do air shows in between races or during the main race. in this case it was like the event that kind of kicked the race off. >> i was getting the plane as it was coming in to land, it didn't really seem out of ordinary to me. >> but the plane is in trouble. its engine stalls. and the pilot struggles to make the runway. at first, it looks to darby like the plane is going to make it. >> then as it was coming in, it just seemed like all of a sudden, it just dropped. it just hit the water. >> [ bleep ] dude. >> crashed and flipped forward. and it was just shocking, to say the least. >> immediately, boaters in the vicinity of the crash spring into action.
