Cessna 150 and Piper PA28: Airplanes collide in flight on landing approach, killing 2. Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Two planes have collided while both were approaching to land at an Argentine airport, and two people have died. Argentina’s air force says one of its planes collided with a civilian plane as both were approaching the small airport in the town of Mercedes, about 60 miles (100 kilometers) west of Buenos Aires.

Air force spokesman Gabriel Otero says two people aboard the civilian Cessna 150 were killed when it crashed. The air force’s Piper PA-28 Dakota landed safely with two aboard. He says the planes “touched in the air” on Monday as they were preparing to land. Civil aviation authorities are investigating the collision.
