Wanted to be sure you guys saw this. Saw it last night and my first thought was it could be someone we know from the Slide. One of the planes was Renfros Alaskan Adventures and I have seen them recommended here.

Alaska police: All passengers killed in midair collision of two planes

ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- Alaska State Troopers say all those on board two small planes died in a midair collision in the western part of the state.

Troopers did not say how many people were in the two aircraft, but the Alaska National Guard said earlier that there were a total of five on board the planes.

Troopers say the crash occurred northwest of the village of Russian Mission. Troopers say responders at the scene have confirmed there were no survivors on either of the planes.

Alaska National Guard officials say the collision occurred just before 11 a.m. Wednesday.

Terrible tragedy. We had a friend who was a Travel Agent, and she booked her Aunt and Uncle (father's brother and SIL) on an Alaska Cruise. The Travel Agent booked them on a Airplane sightseeing tour of the glaciers as a free gift from her personally. The Aunt wasn't wanting to do it, because she didn't like flying in small planes and was very apprehensive. The niece insisted that it would be safe, and they would have a wonderful time. They did take the tour. The plane crashed and everyone was killed. The niece was blaming herself for talking them into taking the tour, and she cannot forgive herself. This happened in 1998, and she has still not recovered from the self-imposed guilt.
