Accident Overview
A midair collision occurred near Warren County Airport when a Beech A36 and a Stinson 108-2 converged about one mile north of the airfield. The Beech A36 (N1DG) had just taken off from runway 30 for an instrument instructional flight. Witnesses observed the aircraft turn right and start climbing. Meanwhile, the Stinson 108-2 (N232C) was returning to the airport from the northeast, a direction that placed it flying toward the sun. The two airplanes subsequently collided.
Aircraft and Flight Context
The Beech A36 was operated as a training flight under instrument flight rules. The Stinson 108-2 was on a return leg to Warren County Airport. Both aircraft are single-engine general aviation types. Warren County Airport is an uncontrolled airport, meaning no air traffic control tower was in operation at the time.
Collision Circumstances
The collision occurred approximately one mile north of the airport. The Stinson's approach from the northeast would have subjected its pilot to glare from the sun, a detail noted in the source. No further information about injuries, damage, or post-collision events was provided in the source.
