Mid-Air Collision Between 2 Small Planes Above Colorado
FAA Investigates Mid-Air Collision Between 2 Small Planes Above Cherry Creek Reservoir South Of Denver. (denver.cbslocal.com) さらに...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Unbelievable. Seeing that Merlin almost cut in half and the pilot landed it like there was nothing to it. Amazing how there wasn’t any fatalities.
From the pix of the Metroliner and the seemingly intact wings of the Cirrus, the Cirrus prop may have chopped into an inch or two of the crown of the fuselage at high rpm, very high speed and enough bank to clear the vertical stabilizer. Just a guess, a miracle in any case.
I wonder how much the Metroliner spent at Signature Aviation? My bet is that he did not refuel!
What planes collided?
Did you still have the question after reading the story that is the basis for this thread, please let us know.
Thanks

This excellent Juan Browne video, produced very soon after the May 12th mid-air collision provides a great explanation of what occurred. Tower audio, radar tracks, and a first solo pilot who was just landing confirmed the ballistic parachute deployment to the tower. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ph7OR6C90w
