That’s weird. I wonder if they weren’t paying attention to the tower, or vice-versa...
We had a clear-air collision of a seaplane and a small plane over Lake Coeur d’Alene a couple years ago. One pilot was an experienced commercial jet pilot. I think he owned the seaplane sightseeing company. It was the weirdest thing — beautiful clear blue skies, no other air traffic, and yet they found themselves at the same altitude and collided over the lake.
It’s astonishing to think that with two planes on final approach neither pilot spotted the other. Wow.
Poor visibility between a high wing aircraft and a low wing aircraft.
Where’s Harrison Ford?
Cessna 340: twin propeller, low-wing, 6-seat airplane.
At an uncontrolled airport, my first suspicion would be that the Cessna 152 was in a standard VFR pattern and the Cessna 340 was shooting a direct in IFR approach. High-wing pilot already in the pattern doesn't see low-wing descending due to the wing. Low-wing twin pilot that's descending doesn't see the 152 below it.
Departed a VFR pattern more than once for a hot-head shooting an IFR approach that didn't want to wait in the queue or circle around.
Was Harrison Ford involved?

I leaned yesterday that my best friend’s aunt was one of the people killed in this collision. RIP. Children left behind.
