Midair Collision

On March 16, 1961, two airplanes collided just 75 feet above the Pompano Beach Air Park.  The collision occurred as a twin-engine Grumman Gulfstream owned by the Pillsbury Company was approaching the runway and sheared off the top of a Piper Cub flying below. The pilot and co-pilot of the Piper Cub were killed; the passengers and crew of the Gulfstream were shaken up, but survived.
