In Arizona, tragedy struck when two small jets collided mid-air at Marana Regional Airport, north of Tucson. The crash claimed two lives as a Lancair and a Cessna collided, leading to a fiery aftermath. Local officials confirmed neither aircraft was based at the Marana airport.
The incident occurred as both planes attempted to navigate around runway 12. While the Cessna attempted landing, the Lancair crashed near runway 3. The airport, devoid of a control tower, relies on pilots to communicate with each other, highlighting the dangers of such uncontrolled environments. Investigations are ongoing, with the NTSB leading the probe. Steer clear of blind skies, my friends!
