Incredible mid-air collision accident - Pics

I'll bet he's glad for the convention of left hand seat for PIC. Looks
like the 180 wheel caught the right hand seat square.

Good thing, too, that he was solo.


An extra set of eyes may have seen the Cessna, but one never knows. The
Cessna never had a chance. Based on preliminary NTSB report, the Baron was
"cruise climb" up into the Cessna, on the Cessna pilots blind side. The
Barron would have been approaching almost head on, on the right of the
Cessna, and would be from the cross cockpit view of the Cessna pilot, low
and 1 o'clock, below the engine cowling.

Maybe extra eyes in the Cessna could have helped also.
Montana Rule applies, Big Sky, but it is a narrow pass through Tehachipe.

I think hats off to the baron pilot, for having the presence of mind
to get a plane that damaged on the ground in one peice, imaginge the
noise, the huge drag and possible electronics failures, not to mention
the shock of having just been hit by another plane.

Two thumbs up in my book, what a pilot.

you'd be amazed what you can do when you are fighting for you life in an
airplane that may come apart at any time.
