A human has certain physiological limit, visual precision, hand-eye coordination. It should be possible to assess a certain probability under optimistic assumptions for the three planes. One plane might hit luckily. Three planes would be highly suspicious. Maybe there is some experimental data available. I could not find something relevant.

Not being a pilot, I would be interested to know how a trained pilot automatically compensates for windspeed when flying towards waypoints in the sky, or landing paths and how precise they are with respect to the size of the side of a tower like this.
