Gee, did Blucifer hit one of the planes with his laser eyes? (or some other weird conspiracy theory surrounding DEN)
This looks like an ACTUAL “near miss”.
Usually they call it a “near miss” when they totally miss each other and merely come close.
If they totally collide and disappear in a ball of flame, I guess that’s a “hit”.
Two planes with some damage that both land safely? That’s what a “near miss” really looks like.
Wow, lucky that plane wasn’t full of passengers.
This is my home field and involved a few friends of mine. How this happened with the skill level of the pilots is a mystery.
Cirrus SR22
The Cirrus SR22 is a single-engine four- or five-seat composite aircraft built from 2001 by Cirrus Aircraft of Duluth, Minnesota. It is a development of the Cirrus SR20, with a larger wing, higher fuel capacity, and a more powerful, 310-horsepower engine
I find it surprising the pilot of the Cirrus SR22 was wearing a parachute.
At first I thought a Cirrus SR22 would be an ultra-light.
A “Bring me my brown pants” incident for all aboard.
As a pilot friend of mine says: Any landing you can walk away from is a successful landing.
Years ago in S. CA (I think at Van Nuys Airport) a Low Wing Piper came down on top of a High Wing Cessna on approach.
The Propeller of the Piper cut through the rear fuselage of the Cessna severing the control cables. The Cessna went in nose first. I think the Pilot of the Piper survived.
