All low wings =/= a bonanza
I'm confused. The article said it was a Baron and a Tri-Pacer.
Word on the street is one was a Tri pacer and the other one was a PA 28R arrow...

When I'm landing, I'm not looking at my ADS-B display. Unless there was some sort of alarm hooked up to an ADS-B receiver, ADS-B wouldn't have made any difference.
The real question is: "How did two planes land simultaneously during a major fly-in?" Was there a temporary tower?
No Tower.. it is REALLY kool place to go but on busy weekends it gets DAMN crazy...
Live web cam for the place...

Neat webcam. Apparently it's facing away from where the accident occurred, however, since it is not apparent when you watch the timelapse video from this morning.
Poor kid. RIP.
Poor dad. So sad. I simply could not imagine his anguish. May his son RIP.
If you're worried about a 2 year old, and not worried about the rest of your pax equally...
You win the award for the dumbest, most ignorant response to an internet post ever. Nobody ever said they wouldn't be worried about all pax equally. You made a dumb assumption.
CONGRATULATIONS on your award Nate!!!!
This is so sad to hear. Going to a fly-in with a 2yr old into a congested mountainous airport seems a bit crazy to me.
My response was in reference to this, of course. I thought it odd that someone contemplating mountain flying to a backcountry strip would care the age of the pax.
ALL pax are worth not flying to the absolute best of your ability, doesn't matter if they're tiny or big. Hell, YOU are worth it, even.
Not meant to pick on anyone, just saying to break that chain of evaluating which pax you have on board as part of the mental process of how much risk you'll take, and realize that mountain ops in relatively small valleys to grass strips add a measure of risk for all on board.
Age simply doesn't matter. Get it out of your brain.
Nah, I was thinking bacon would be more effective.Kittens!

DenverPilot, I must apologize to you. I was using an iPad all called Tapatalk to respond and I'm finding that it sometimes gets posts out of order, or in this case, didn't even display Addicted's post. So it appeared your post was in response to mine or Jay's, which it obviously wasn't. I understand and appreciate your point and I think it's very relevant. Again my apologies to you and the other posters here.
I was wondering if I should spend the few bucks for Tapatalk, maybe I will hold off.

YGBFSM! This is Johnson Creek, in the Frank Church Wilderness. It's out in no place. Eyes out. Be look'ng and be waiting and listening!No ADS-B coverage in the area that may have help on avoiding the mid-air.

Accidents like this hopefully help reinforce a need to be outside the airplane when operating in congested areas. If anything, flying with a CFI and doing ground reference maneuvers could be a way to get your head back outside.
