Summary
243 Max discusses the mid-air collision at Watsonville, CA airport.
A Cessna 340 flew a long straight-in approach and was still at 180
knots when it hit a Cessna 152 that had just turned from base to
final. That’s 60 knots faster than this aircraft has been on prior
landings at Watsonville. All pilots and passengers were killed.
Also, Max talks with Catherine Cavagnaro about slips.
