Default Ohio midair crash kills 3

Thanks for the transcription of the audio file. I should also add that
my computer's clock was about 9 minutes 30 second behind the official
time, so all the time stamps must be advanced by approx 10 minutes to
be correct.

I live not too far from the accident scene, and I have a scanner that
records all CTAF communications in the vicinity and uploads to my
website. I have not searched the audio archives carefully, but perhaps
one of you might want to take a look and find if anything relevant to
this crash shows up. Here is the link:

Yours may be the sole record of these transmissions. Thank you for
making them available.

From the FAA preliminary information (below):

Date: 05/11/2007
Time: 1903 UTC
Time: 15:03 Local (UTC -4:00)
N6614D, A CESSNA 172
N1835L, A BEECH V35B

Cincinnati-Blue Ash Airport KISZ
Elevation: 856 ft.

Here's what I found on the tapes (probably the last words of the MAC
pilots):

06:31 Sky5 Sky5 helo & Sheriff helo orbiting

06:42 Sky5 You call'n Blue Ash or 229 Sheriff?
06:45 Sheriff Blue Ash
06:46 Sky5 Ok, we're up with ya.
06:48 Sheriff ...they've already called for CFR ...
... about 10 or 15 min out...however
long it takes for them to get goin'
06:57 Sky5 Gotcha. Copy 10 min. We'll stay 2 or
abv 2,000 stay out of your way.
07:11 Sky5 Sky5 helo & Sheriff helo orbiting abt
2 2-1/2 NE of Blue Ash just outside of
275blue

So it appears that the Bonanza was inbound from the north at 6,000'
(5,144' AGL) for left downwind entry to runway six, while the Cessna
had just departed runway six and was at 2,100' (1,244' AGL) at the
time of his last transmission. It would seem that both aircraft would
have had their view of the other obscured by their low/high wing
configurations. Tragic.
