Nairobi National Park Midair Collision
"At least two people were killed after two planes collided at the Nairobi National Park, police said.
About 44 others escaped unhurt in the Tuesday morning incident. The incident involved a Dash 8 registration number 5YSLK belonging to Safari Link which was headed for Diani with 44 passengers and five crew and a Cesna plane. The Cesna registration number 5YNNJ had two people on board and was on a training session when the incident happened, police said." Sounds very lucky for the Dash 8 . . . |

No photos yet of the damage to the Dash 8 or visual confirmation of the registration. Doesn't appear on any tracking website at that time....

Sorry to say this, but the surprising thing is that this has not happened before.
i would bet the dash 8 was departing on 14 and the c172 was doing touch and goes on 07. ATC routinely allow the situation in which a training a/c doing circuits on 07, flies over the top of departing a/c. It’s always made me uncomfortable. All they have to do is hold the departing a/c for 30 seconds longer. could have been much worse. |
Apparently the midair took place this morning, the day is almost finishing, Kenya its not a Sudan or Yemen, and no further details, pics, videos, etc, has surfaced the aviation foruns, pages, etc....weird... :ooh:

I’ve found this, doesn’t look like enough damage to bring down the Cessna.

Wilson has become dangerous beyond any acceptable limit. Overcrowded on the ground and in the circuit.. Poster No 5 has the most likely scenario. I have had 2 TCAS RA under exactly that scenario.
