Re: Collision in New Jersey

The 150 was indeed from Caldwell and the PA28 was from Lincoln Park.
The reporting on this one has been pretty lousy so far, both from
aviation and non-aviation sources. Initially, someone from the FAA
reported that there were five fatalities, with one survivor apparently
trapped in the 150. That was later corrected to two fatalities no
survivors. AvWeb is reporting that both planes were in the pattern at
Caldwell, which is unlikely if they ended up in Kinnelon. I'm waiting
for the NTSB synopsis...

AvWeb is the only place where I've seen this reported. I'm wondering
if they just pulled the file on the midair at CDW a couple of years
back by accident.

I'm sorry to say that we'd a second accident here in NJ this past weekend:

Not our best weekend, I'm afraid. And this after:

I know. When I arrived at CDW that day, I got the straight scoop.

Definitely not true. I was in the pattern at Caldwell at the time, and it
didn't happen there. I heard about it right after I tied down at 10:20 or
so.
