The altimeter in the LS1-f was broken with the hands indicating about 6700 feet MSL (IIRC), about 5000 feet AGL. There were no clouds that day and visibilty was 150 miles. I have the complete report somewhere in my files. 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. An astronomical number of hours of flight in the USA in the past century multiplied by a miniscule chance of a random collision = ? I don't know what to conclude from this, but thank you for your investigation and response. Perhaps others will have comments. -- ------------+ Mark J. Boyd |
