Lovers’ Planes Collide Midair

A man died in Alaska last week after his plane collided midair with the plane of his girlfriend—to whom he was speaking by radio at the time. Kristen Sprague remembers Scott Veal saying he could not see her when, all of a sudden, his plane struck her right wing. She was able to make an emergency landing without serious injury, but Veal’s plane crashed and burst into flames.
