Ouch, I think at least one of the planes, the 150, is from the main flight school there at Corona. From watching the local TV the other has the same markings as another of their planes. My heart goes out to those pilots and that school. I have been in there plenty of times and I think each time there has been a close call with some one in the pattern doing their own thing.

Don't know what all happened here, though I have my suspicions, but the FAA really needs to examine some of the flight rules for uncontrolled fields. I can't imagine the sun was any help at that time of day either. Anyway, don't know if I am more mad or sad right now here...
