That fact that it is extremely rare ...

A MAC occurred at Corona Municipal Airport less than ten years ago:
3/19/1998


We have automobile collisions collisions by the dozens every month. Once every
ten years would qualify as a fairly rare event, I would think.

Given the disparity between the number of aircraft (239,162 in 2006*)
in the US and the number of automobiles (129,728,341 in 1998**) (542
times as many autos as planes), that's not a very good comparison.

When you factor in the MAC happening in the same location in less than
ten years time, it's even worse.
