light planes collide over Seattle?
Just saw an ad for Kiro News 4 at 11:00
It showed 2 light planes that had collided - looked bad. Anyone know anything? Tony -- Tony Roberts PP-ASEL VFR OTT Night Cessna 172H C-GICE |

It was over Renton, not Seattle...in the pattern, east of the airport.
Cessna 150 pilot, apparently with the sun in his eyes, hit the floats of a float plane on downwind and knocked them about 30 degrees out of alignment. 150 went straight into an empty school; float plane pilot, a very experienced flight instructor and 135 pilot, opted against a water landing and put it on the grass. Anyone who has driven/flown into the sun knows that "unlimited visibility" shrinks down to zero under those conditions. Tower-controlled airport, BTW. A contract tower, not an FAA tower.

Oh yeah. We had 0.7 inches of rain in July, and none since the first of
August...the next week or ten days are forecast to be dry, too. Bob Gardner wrote in message ups.com... Oh, Boy and this is rainy Seattle. Makes the M..gs closure look sounder every day. Uncle Bobby RIP. And that was SPLAT into a SCHOOL BUILDING. Polarized sunglasses anyone? JG |

The AP report is very sensible.
This accident reminds me of last week's thread about spotting floatplanes over Lake Sammamish. In this case the Cessna was in the pattern for Renton and looking into the sun -- but the Beaver was in a separate pattern for Wiley Post, the seaplane base off the north end of the Renton runway. Both of these guys should have been talking to the tower and the tower should have been watching out for both of them. Seth N8100R "Bob Gardner" wrote in message ... Oh yeah.
