The pilot of the Cessna 182B Skylane (N2639G) was descending in a right turn after dropping parachute jumpers at 4500 ft msl. As he descended below 1500 ft msl, his aircraft collided with a Beech A36 (N2063V). The A36 had departed from the Queen City Airport and was in the traffic pattern to land at the airport when the collision occurred.
The Cessna crashed in a paved parking lot of a shopping center and the Beech crashed into a new car dealership's parking lot. Both aircraft were destroyed along with several cars in the dealership's lot.
All six on board the Beech and the pilot of the Cessna were killed.
PROBABLE CAUSE:
The failure of both pilots to see and avoid each other. A contributing factor to the accident was that neither pilot was heard over the radio announcing their position and intentions.
