Air stunt goes badly wrong as Red Bull pilots try to SWAP planes 12,000ft up

A daredevil stunt has gone badly wrong after an attempt to swap planes in mid-air ended with one aircraft plunging thousands of feet to the ground.

Luke Aikins, 48, and Andy Farrington, 39, from Arizona in the US, had attempted the never-before-seen stunt but couldn't finish the escapade after one of the planes nosedived out of control and crashed.

The daring stunt was supposed to see the pair fly their Red Bull-sponsored Cessna planes before leaving the aircraft and freefalling into the other plane, the Daily Star reports.
