I think this happened in San Diego in the early 80's, when a jet (shown in the pic) collided with a commuter plane. No survivors. Last words heard on the flight recorder were, "I love you, Mom."

PSA Flight 182 Boeing 727 inbound to San Diego collided with a Cessna 172 that had a student and instructor pilot practicing instrument flying. No survivors. Nine people on the ground also perished.

rmcbride is correct. I was there and saw it. It missed my Mom's place by about 1/4 mile. Not funny then or now.

I was flying a Western Airlines 727-200 about 30 seconds behind PSA. We'd had breakfast with that crew up in Sacramento, raced down to LAX and then on to SAN.

This 727 collided airborn with a Cessna 172 in flights PSA182. Very sad, a good reason for using a TCAS. Too bad with these morons with stupid comments.

Terran, you are incorrect about saying the Cessna was flown by a student pilot. They were both experienced pilot that were practicing landing approaches when the PSA jet overtook it from behind.

From what I recall, it was a student pilot as Terran wrote. I lived a block and a half on Dwight Street, people that perished were my neighbors. I was not there at the time I was stationed overseas, but my mother and my inlaws were there and witnessed the tragic accident.

The instructor in the C172 was my friend's instructor. The C172 was hit from behind.

This picture is not PSA 182. You can see a good pic of it at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PSA_Flight_182
Don't know what crash this was. on a side note, my parents were driving out of Balboa Park after a picnic when they saw the fireball behind them, impacting the spot they left.

reply to Not PSA: it looks like the same plane to me, flaps are in much the same position and you can just make out the PSA written on the side of the fuselage - just taken from a slightly different angle

It IS PSA 182, there was only ever one PSA 727 Crash. ALSO, the plane did not go down in Balboa Park, it wasn't anywhere near Balboa park. It crashed in a residential neighborhood about 400 yards west of the 805 freeway.
