I have seen a 182 nearly land on top of a helicopter there. He was maybe 20 feet above the helo as it was landing on the runway and the plane was above it trying to do the same. Another time, I was teaching short field landings there one time and went to use the full length and was promptly cut off by the guy that was behind me. Also been in the downwind and had a guy go by me in the other direction just a hundred feet apart. He then landed with a tailwind as I did a go around. With the radio, I am usually talking to myself and when I am not, I hear calls like "hey bob, I'm landing", or "yellow airplane 3 miles from the airport coming in".

Anyway, they updated the news. I don't think the 172 came from the local flight school there, at least it is not the one on their website. They are also saying that 5 are dead now, 4 in the planes and 1 in the dealership.
