Its a PA-28 and an old Stinson. Regardless of vision, both should have had a vigilant ear on the radio, and announced their intentions on the correct frequency clearly.

So looks like pilot landing didn’t here the take off clearance of the red one. ( if there were any) Or Pilot taking off didn’t here the landing clearance of the white one ( if there were any) or tower gave both the clearance. But should off only taken one of the three to realize something wrong is happening. If it was an uncontrolled airport, then its pilot error by not reporting position or not listening others report. almost had a mid air collision myself in uncontrolled airspace cause of a pilot NOT reporting position and intention. Pilots, we are suppose to be professional!

This is no laughing matter. Only a couple people were intelligent enough to mention the danger of the high wing-low wing problem with visibility at uncontrolled airports. My brother and two others died from that same type of situation almost exactly one year ago. There are way too many accidents occurring because of uncontrolled airspace at smaller airports. THIS is the problem that needs to be addressed!

Well, it’s completely obvious that the guy in the red plane wasn’t looking in his rear-view mirror and the guy in the white plane, WAS.

how the heck does this happen? all i can think of is that the “top” plane intended to touch down a metre in front of the 2nd plane, the propeller jammed up into it and momentum took care of the rest.

i bet when the tower saw the white plane ming in they had there phones out recording it going look at this jackass. [We'd like some of what you're smoking. - ed.]

I remember the teachers at my aviation mechanics school telling us about this type of accident, but I never thought I’d ever get to actually see one. cool.

A classic low wing over high wing accident, but usually with both on an “uncontrolled” final.

The newscaster did sound pretty high, aside from her excellent diction. She was clearly trying to make up a story on the spot, and didn’t have the brains for it.

I just know there’s a Microsoft/Yahoo joke in here somewhere.
