Plane crash

Hope the damages are minimal to life and limb; planes can be replaced. frown

Sadly, no survivors. There could have been more with a 208 involved. Yikes!

Thoughts go out to the families that are just learning of their losses...

Damn, they've had a bad 'streak' this summer:

June crash

That pretty much sucks, end of story.

Condolences to family and friends.

Especially on a day like today.

My thoughts and prayers go to the families of those lost.

Mid air collisions boggle my mind. Such an infinite amount of space for 2 little specks to meet.

Yep, pretty nice out that way:

Russian Mission Weather

Might easily have involved a bit too much 'looking around' on such a nice day... easy to get distracted sometimes. A tragedy regardless.

One would always think it almost impossible, with 2 airplanes that one or the other was paying attention to airspace.

But humans are not perfect and things do happen.

Its still more dangerous to drive to the airport rather than fly... IMHO.

Two days before moose season, big bull to look at. I can see how it could happen.

Oh I get that, just the odds still have to be high, really high. Even with both planes looking, you'd think out of 5 people...

But then I'm a turkey in a small plane, helping look for traffic...

And while ADS-B takes a chunk of cash for an owner to install, this is exactly what it was designed to prevent.

Sad all around.

That can cause the classic "moose stall" looking at a bull and forgetting to continue to fly the plane.
