Default Baron Cessna MidAir

Actually lets rephrase that.. the Cessna was straight and level east bound,
the Baron was climbing west bound.

From the angle of approach of the Baron, the Baron was always low and to the
right of the Cessna as he approached, forever in the Cessna's blind spot
behind the right side cowling. The Baron pilot looking up and right would
have always been in a position to see the Cessna.

The Baron climbed up into and it the Cessna. The right main gear of the
Cessna went through the right side cockpit window, it ripped out the gear
and lower strut attach point of the Cessna causing the right wing to fail.

The Baron pilot, admittedly head down in the cockpit, killed a friend of
mine.

Good one.

But what really happened to the plane? Looks like it got attacked by a
giant can opener.




Cessna 180 collided with it midair in California. The Cessna crashed,
killing the pilot. the Baron landed with only minor injuries to the pilot
(apparently the sole occupant)
