This is why I read a few decades ago why they wouldn’t let flying cars be a thing… 100 of millions of vechiles flying in the air per day would be a huge risk of crashes in the air and lots of innocent victims on the ground… it’s safer to fly than drive just cause not as much traffic in the sky and more room to operate

This shit ain't no coincidence!

Me and my girl fly all the time, but now, I'm not going up until they figure out what the fuck is going on!

OK.... Where is my tinfoil hat?!!

Either this shit happens all the time and just doesn't get reported or there is a serious problem in aviation right now and people are making sure the media is getting ahold of all these events.

Fucked up!!!

"That Cessna model is described as a four-seat single-engine plane, while the Lancair is a two-seat aircraft kit"

Sounds about normal and par for the course ...

Flying cars will be a thing ... when they finally get the aircraft avoidance systems damn near perfect or a hunnid percent perfect ... it will be like blade runner ... maybe AI will eventually handle that when it's perfected ...

This was at an uncontrolled airfield, meaning no control tower. I completed my private pilot certificate at an uncontrolled field and have flown into plenty. Your head has to be on a swivel, and since there isn't a requirement for a radio depending on airspace, you have to be exceptionally diligent.

No control tower and no radio communication?

I'd have to fly to another airport WITH control personnel. I'd just have to drive further.

Fuck that noise!

My peeps just called me

“Dawg for that Miami trip, I might drive. That’s a long ass hike but these planes falling way tooo much”

Most modern planes will have radios. But there are many older planes with no electrical systems at all and hence won't have a radio by default. Owners of those types of planes will often fly with a handheld radio. When flying the traffic pattern to land there are typically callouts we make on the radio to let other traffic know where we are and we're typically flying predictable altitudes. We also have standard procedures as to how we enter and exit the traffic pattern. There are many pilots that enter the pattern incorrectly or don't make the appropriate radio calls. This isn't usually an issue at controlled airports because you're under positive control.

But I remember once about 20 years ago, I was flying out of my controlled home airport with a friend. I had just taken off and turned crosswind when another plane flew within several hundred feet of us. They were close enough to see the occupants. They weren't announcing themselves and when I notified the tower they didn't even see them.
