Low wing vs High wing aircraft. They never saw each other.

I think you’ll find that the fixed wing Piper with wings under hit the other with wings over, sort of like when the Cobra hit the B-17 Bomber, my 2cents.

Honestly there are so many small planes and air traffic around the area, I’m surprised it doesn’t happen more.

Refreshing to read about a small aircraft crash that DOESN’T involve a Beechcraft V-tail.

When you’ve got the entire sky to fly around it, it’s got to take some skill for 2 small planes to collide, unless they were training some aerial acrobatics or something.

Fighter Pilots during WWII were almost all in their early twenties.

One of the victims is reported as a 67-year old man.

Coincidentally today, March 8, is the 67th day of the year.

Does anyone know if the yellow plane had the older man. If so, he was flying over my old house for over a decade. And landing.

From Baynews 9 report..

“Although investigators said these are all very preliminary details, there’s a belief that this crash was the result of a simple misunderstanding.

“The Cherokee was self announcing its location and its intention and the Cub was not,” Spencer said. “This might indicate that the Cherokee was unaware of the Cub and if the Cub could not hear what the Cherokee was announcing, they may have been unaware of the Cherokee.”
