“Piper cub is highwing the Cherokee Piper 161 is low wing. If the cub is ascending and the Cherokee is descending they can’t see each other.”

How about a Pitts or other biplane. Blind in all directions ... Has to fly IFR at all times lol

Sorry the collision happened

True. I was thinking the Cherokee is relatively high performance. No one ever accused the cub of that. Two very different aircraft dinking around the lake. The NTSB will look at all that but it’s very unfortunate.
