Two Cubs Midair

Two super cubs had a mid air in the Mat-Su, Ak airspace yesterday. Miraculously both planes were totaled, but the two pilots survived:

Wow. From the pictures it's hard to believe they survived! Hope they make a full recovery.

Wow thats a serious crash. I hope they both recover. What is scary, I shipped out a mount for a Supercub 150 to a person in Wasilla last week and his first chance to likely fly with it would have been this weekend. I so hope it was not him.

Altitude of the mid-air was approximately 1,000 feet. Surprised they both survived:
