This morning I read in the Chicago Tribune about a mid-air between a
2-33 and a Piper Cub at Turf Soaring in AZ. Each aircraft was
carrying two passengers, all died in the crash.
Does anybody have more detailed information on the accident or links
to articles in the Phoenix press?

Turf Soaring has released a statement about this tragic accident; it
can be seen on the Arizona Soaring Association's web site at:

Keith and Carl were both friends. I have given many commercial acro
rides in the accident ASK21 and had been checked out by Carl in his
immaculate J-3 a few years ago. It is hard to accept what has
happened, but aviation is unforgiving, as we all know and must
respect.

But damn, I hate when this happens...

Roy, you have my deepest sympathies.

One of the most sobering messages and shocking aspects of this accident is that
it doesn't only happen to people with few hours/little experience, in bad
weather or when someone is horsing around.

Thoughts and sympathies to all.
