Neither pilot was injured, but the condition of the plane remains unknown.
The plane that was spinning uncontrollably had a parachute on it which was deployed when it reached a certain altitude.
Farrington told USA Today: “It just went and instead of stopping in that 90-degree dive, it just kept going and got over on his back.
“You’re just happy everybody’s here and good and all that stuff, but just disappointed.”
