New Photo In Denver Miracle Midair Shows How Close To Disaster The Metroliner Came

Centennial has lots of small GA traffic on one runway and larger traffic on the very close parallel. It is very busy and If you have flown into Centennial one may reflect that incidents like this have a higher probability then at many other airports.

Really makes me wonder about the geometry of this midair. Did the Cirrus lose its tail? Glad everyone is ok and mad props to the Metro pilot for being cool in a tough spot.

The pilot has (probably) developed a facial twitch.....after my high speed unplanned departure from a runway in 1985 my knees lost their ability to hold me up for an hour.

Had to do a double take, thought this was speed tape airlines

Interesting listening to the audio the Metroliner pilot reported in emergency that he had lost an engine. I don’t think he even knew he had been hit

As a layperson, who's neither a pilot nor an ATC (I'm just here for the memes), I'm curious, was this an ATC issue, or pilot error, or some combination of both? It doesn't really say in the story what went wrong. Or we don't know until the investigation is complete? I'm guessing of the two, the Metroliner is likely not at fault?

I can see the write up now… well corrective action at least… Could not duplicate, ground visual inspection complete aircraft approved for deferral… ops check good return to service ok

So apparently dark green is not a good color to paint your airplane.

Key Lime Air Metroliner (N280KL) was badly damaged in a mid-air collision with a Cirrus SR-22 (N416DJ) while on final approach to Denver-Centennial Airport.

Any landing you can walk away from!

It's in the log as "pressurization issue". MEL it good to go...

Did the pilot just write it up once they got to their base?

Probably should file a NASA ASRS report for that one...at least 😏

Isn't a Cirrus a drone?

Lmao. That air service operated at the airport I used to work at. They always looked like a collection of death-traps operating on questionable principles. But that was probably a harsh judgment based on just thinking those Texas Death Pencils never looked all that airworthy.

That Metroliner is a beast! If the empanage would’ve fallen off, this would have been a much sadder story. Props to the metroliner pilot...not so much to the cirrus pilot...

The fact that it stayed together is incredible. Especially considering they arnt supposed to be towed with the door open due to structural concerns. It is in the manual that it can’t be towed with doors open. There are reports of doors not closing after it was towed with them open because the aircraft flexed so much.

Same paint colors as Speedtape Airlines. Coincidence?

Hey finally some decent ac for the sewer pipe

Same guys behind the A-10, so of course it held together.

Was Tom Hanks on that plane ? LOL
