Geez. This sounds like a pure one-in-a-million case of crappy luck.
The chance of two aircraft in all that 3-dimensional space hitting each
other, while just flying around, is almost astronomical.
They are not, unfortunately.
In my vicinity there have been two jet-glider midairs in the last 15
years and one near-collision where the motorglider was damaged badly
by wake turbulence. The winch cable of my club was cut once by a
fighter about 25 years ago.
