Is it possible to make one rc plane follow another one? I am sure Dave could figure it out.
Line robots follow a colored line. A way it could be possible is for the leading plane to be colored brightly and the following plane to have a camera that can see the location of the bright color in the camera view and make a direction decision and tell the autopilot.
It would probably be easiest to make them both slow flying planes and the leader to be a little faster. Could use quadcopters.
There are probably better more high tech solutions. It might be too expensive and time consuming, but would be a good episode.
Can it be done?
