According to:
http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/02/08/air...ion/index.html

It was a Cessna 182 and a 172 SG ("an experimental plane made in
Scandinavia")...

Anyone found a picture of one of these?

snip
Monica Zech, a public information officer for El Cajon Fire and Police,
said the planes were a 182 Cessna and a 172 SG, an experimental plane
made in Scandinavia.

The latter was was initially identified as a helicopter, but its tail
number revealed it later to be a fixed-wing, experimental plane, she
said. "They look kinda funky."

Any pictures of the bodies? No disaster like this is complete without that.

Just witnessed a mid-air collision 5 miles south of KSEE :-(
I did not notice any aircraft in the sky until there was a medium sized
fireball low on the horizon. Two smoking pieces then split off and fell
down, reigniting into two smaller fireballs. About 3 minutes later the
smoke had vanished.
On TV the accident location was given as Griffen Park, El Cajon which
would put it WSW of KSEE or ESE of KMYF. It's close to the extended
localizer of KMYFs 28R and slightly north of San Diego's Bravo airspace.

Generally, not a good month for the GA community. More Kamikazi hits
than
His Emperor's Navy.
