A midair collision between two small planes at a regional airport in Arizona killed at least two people on Wednesday, authorities said.

The deadly collision occurred at the Marana Regional Airport, northwest of Tucson, the Marana Police Department said.

Authorities confirmed that at least two people were killed, though they noted that details were limited as first responders were still working the scene.

The planes that collided midair were identified as a Cessna 172S and a Lancair 360 MK II, both fixed-wing, single-engine aircraft, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said. The agency said it is investigating the incident.

The last few months have been disastrous for aircraft.  Yes, flying gets you from point A to point B, much quicker, but I'm not exactly leaning towards using a plane to reach any future destination anytime soon.
