The US-registered Piper Cherokee 6 was on a flight from Reichelsheim and on approach to Worms airfield when it collided mid-air with a Canadian Air Force CF-104 Starfighter. The two aircraft collided almost head on, the CF-104’s left wing slicing off the Cherokee’s left wing and left horizontal stabilizer. The Cherokee spun straight down, killing the two pilots on board. The CF-104 also lost part of its left wing and crashed into a house in the village of Großniedesheim, killing a 19 year old male. The military pilot ejected but received serious injuries.
