It was over Renton, not Seattle...in the pattern, east of the airport.
Cessna 150 pilot, apparently with the sun in his eyes, hit the floats of a
float plane on downwind and knocked them about 30 degrees out of alignment.
150 went straight into an empty school; float plane pilot, a very
experienced flight instructor and 135 pilot, opted against a water landing
and put it on the grass. Anyone who has driven/flown into the sun knows that
"unlimited visibility" shrinks down to zero under those conditions.

Tower-controlled airport, BTW. A contract tower, not an FAA tower.

Just saw an ad for Kiro News 4 at 11:00
It showed 2 light planes that had collided - looked bad.

Anyone know anything?
