LOS ALAMOS, N. M. -- According to Los Alamos officials, a single-engine aircraft landed on top of another plane which was also in landing mode shortly after 3 p.m. on Monday. A witness told Action 7 News that a Bonanza landed on top of a Cessna.

Both the National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration are on the way to the Los Alamos Airport to investigate the incident.

Officials said two people suffered minor injuries but refused treatment. Luckily there was no fire or gas spilled.

The airport was temporarily closed and may remain so until Tuesday.

With no direct mention, it is probably a female pilot, democrat. If Republican they would have found a way to mention it! ;^)

Wonder if the woman pilot was on top?

I have spent many, many days at that airport, sitting in the Fire Departments crash truck; back when the DOE had flights coming in from Oak Ridge, Pantex, and the Nevada Test Site.

Two Beechcraft Bonanzas?

[El Gato]

I'm no expert, but does that look like two V-tail bonanzas

Video says they are both Beech Bonanzas. A green trimmed one on top, a red trimmed one on the bottom.

Something similar has happened before a few years back.

"They are both Bonanzas "

Any FReeper pilots remember the old joke about "the three most useless things on the flight line"?

Well, they're supposed to this in the hanger, not out on the runway.

No, never heard that one - what are they?

[Fido969]

Of course they refused medical treatment.

Wanted to run home and get out of those pants.

The three most useless things to a pilot are the altitude above you, runway behind you, and a tenth of a second ago.

[Mamzelle]

I'm not going to rest until I know the names of the pilots. Who wants to make book that the "top" has a name like "Marcy" or "Cindy"?

[Swordmaker]

How soon before we have a litter of little planes???

The next thing planes will be asking for is legal marriage.
