Cherokee, Glastar Land Safely After Midair

High-Wing v. Low-Wing

The number of folks who can say they have survived a midair is awfully small, but thankfully, we've added a few to the survivor column, rather than the more ominous alternative. It was NOT a happy new year when the high-wing Glastar taildragger and the Piper Cherokee mixed it up on final (note that this was a high-wing v. low-wing accident... a not-unheard-of factor in a number of midairs), but once again, all that really matters is that everyone survived to tell the tale.
