So this explains how we might react to the adjacent fliers in the grid <grins>

Exactly!
It may, of course, be one of the grid throwing a wobbly. It has been interesting to see the reactions of other fliers in the grid at stressful moments.
I 'like' the concept of random flying in a 'full' sky... A small number of fliers can interact completely spontaneously and very 'elegantly' as we have seen at Blackheath recently. Scaling this within the constraints of a larger group of fliers could be fascinating as long as Ben was prepared to supply the lines. <grins>
