In the US, I'm not aware of any ACTUAL midair collisions between a

About 15 years ago near Ephrata, Washington, there was a glider/airplane
collision about 10 miles from the airport. Everyone was killed. I don't
remember the details, or even if they were determined with any confidence.

I seem to recall one near Truckee 5-10 years ago, but don't remember how
far it was from the airport.
