Midair Collision in Arizona Kills Two

A midair collision at Marana Regional Airport in Arizona resulted in the deaths of two people on Wednesday. The crash involved two single-engine planes, a Cessna 172S and a Lancair 360 MK II, with the Cessna landing safely while the Lancair crashed and caught fire. The airport, which operates without an air traffic control tower, has plans delayed by the pandemic to build one. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is investigating the incident, marking the latest in a string of aviation accidents in North America. The crash occurred amid ongoing concerns about aviation safety following staffing cuts at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
