We got to see two cherokee's do a mating dance on short final to 35 and
held our breath for a moment. One was behind, low and close in trail,
doing s-turns to spread it out. The one in the front was steadily
descending and crowding the one in front of it. Unfortunately I didnt
have my radio with me to hear what was being said, but the guy in the
back slipped hard and put it on the numbers and threw the brakes on. The
higher, leading plane landed halfway down the first half of the runway.
I am unsure if he was supposed to land long or what happened. I still
dont know why a go-around didnt happen. I am estimating separation
laterally got as low as 100 feet.


lots of good stuff snipped

Wow I was there, and saw those cherokee's as well. I swear the left
wingtip of the following bird was barely a foot off the ground as he
appeared to vear right to avoid the bird in front. I believe they were
told to land one short and one long, but obviously the one landing long
thought that 100 feet from the numbers was long enough.....
