Yes. Both pilots were killed.
You lost me.
Weren't both pilots killed in this crash?
Yes. Both pilots were killed.
He never had me. I don't get it.
> You lost me.
It would seem that the implication is that the Saudi
pilot might have been suicide pilot in training.
As for the collision itself, it sounds like a classic
general aviation vertical stack-up on final. The date
strikes me as a coincidence.

Suggesting that the Aztec was below the Cherokee.
Since the Cherokee was piloted by the Saudi, a deliberate
collision seems unlikely. These were both low-wing a/c.
The Aztec pilot needed to look up, and maybe back.
But by the time the controller realized he had two
a/c on final that didn't see each other, it may have
been too late for any corrective calls.
