Damn that Trump. If only he had not cut the FAA and ATC staff, these crashes wouldn't happen.

Future max 9 pilots getting their wings I guess.

Good Grief. A 172 pilot should be able to spot another aircraft unless it directly above him and at any rate should have called position even at an uncontrolled field.

Long ago an FAR stated that the Pilot in Command is responsible for and the final authority as to the safety of the passengers and aircraft. Can’t blame the President, tower, FAA, etc. except the one(s) behind the yoke.

Trump’s fault! /sarc In reality, this small airfield apparently does not even have a control tower but relies upon pilots to maintain safety.

Sad, this. Hopefully survivors can add useful information about the accident.

I'll withhold comment until more details emerge.

Expect Dims to say: Hadn’t Musk fired ALL air traffic controllers, this would not have happened

Hmm there were 1,415 crashes last year. I don’t seem to remember NBC covering those.

Let me guess, Trump was flying both aircraft and was also the Air Traffic Controller.

Pilots must still comply with all federal aviation regulations, including minimum visibilities, minimum safe altitudes, and right-of-way rules.

Just when you believe you know it all crash ensues.
