Two's in - You're absolutely tight, he was blind in the turn. I can answer the rest of your questions about airshow coordination as I have been part of flying in that CAF show in the past myself. No ATC, control is with the airboss and there has been an extensive morning briefing maybe lasting an hour or more on what looks like madness but is actually a well choreographed show and all you hear during this performance is the airboss making sure everybody is doing what was briefed, he's talking non-stop for 20 minutes giving directions. I've been in this with 63 other airplanes. There are groups of trainers, fighters, bombers and cargos that work together. But... we're only human and there will always be one pilot out of synch or just "not get it".
