Curious About Mid Air Collidions

[Keith Black]

I did not see the actual impact of every one of these, but I did either see pieces falling from the sky or see the landing of the damaged planes. 

Perhaps witnessed is a bad choice of words. I initially wrote "saw", but changed that because I didn't want to suggest I saw the actual collisions.

  Keith....you have actually witnessed all these mid airs?

  I have seen 4 in 15 years flying, and 2 were mine.

    Mike, you're correct, that is another I was present for. Seems like there are still others I've forgotten.

    BTW, the "fellow from LA" said he had been involved in three (I think) mid airs at Nederland. I don't think he'll be back.

    Revised List (in order):

    1. Brian Young & Bobby Zikes - planes totaled - Dallas 
    2. Lance Van Nostrand & Ron Bar - planes saved - Hot Springs
    3. Mark Hunt & David Cotton  - planes totaled - Temple (I think)
    4. BW Ponder & Sean McClain - planes totaled - NATS
    5. Nat Penton & "fellow from LA" - one plane totaled, one moderate damage, repairable -  Nederland, TX
    6. Gray Fowler &  Paul Villarrubia - planes saved - Dallas
    7. Keith Black & Art Wagner - planes totaled - Hot Springs

      #7. Mid air in Nederland last year, a fellow from La (sorry can't remember the name) and I believe Nat Penton hit. Nat's plane was ok but the other a total.

        These come to mind as ones I've witnessed involving D6 pilots since Sept. 2003:

        1. Brian Young & Bobby Zikes - planes totaled - Dallas 
        2. Lance Van Nostrand & Ron Bar - planes saved - Hot Springs
        3. Mark Hunt & David Cotton  - planes totaled - Temple (I think)
        4. BW Ponder & Sean McClain - planes totaled - NATS
        5. Gray Fowler &  Paul Villarrubia - planes saved - Dallas
        6. Keith Black & Art Wagner - planes totaled - Hot Springs

        I feel like I'm forgetting at least one, perhaps others will chime in.

          While talking pattern the question came up about how many mid air collisions there were in a season flying pattern.
          I thought I would post the question and possibly get an idea of the number from the your answers.
          At the contests that I attended in 2004 I counted four, let me know what contest you attended that experienced one.
