Nice. So in place of Hikaru's recklessly impromptu acrobatics, we have Estevan doing a legit air show and finding out he was only there to be upstaged.

Well, that's what the plan was - as it's working out in my head, Manfred didn't actually expect the Valk to be able to 'win' - with good reason, since Estevan was flying aPitts Special - but having it there to come as close as it clearly did was more than good enough.
And, no, the Angelbird throttle jockey wasn't anybody in particular.
