I don't know why, but midair's are so scary, no matter how profficent you are, those planes sneak up on you so fast.

I remember somebody asking me how it's possible that two planes could collide with such a big sky, I just rolled my eyes and laughed.

'Cuz the "Big Sky, little airplane" theory goes out the window in busy aispace. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Amen to that....

My close friend who lives half a mile from the crash site saw this from the air this morning. He also had 8 hours in the 150. Sometimes the aviation community is too small. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Well it is a big sky, but ATC always has to put you in these "arrival and departure areas" so you can hit each other.

They get more points that way. ding ding ding!
