I don't know why, but midair's are so scary, no matter how profficent you are, those planes sneak up on you so fast. I remember somebody asking me how it's possible that two planes could collide with such a big sky, I just rolled my eyes and laughed. |

My close friend who lives half a mile from the crash site saw this from the air this morning. He also had 8 hours in the 150. Sometimes the aviation community is too small. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
