The pilots of two Cessna 182 aircraft took off from Runway 10 in formation. One of these, N6384A, had four skydivers aboard. After take-off, the pilot of N6384A discontinued formation flight and departed to the south-east, while the other Cessna departed to the north-east.
At about the same time, a Piper PA-28, N4676R, was approaching the airport with a dual student and CFI aboard. Subsequently, the two aircraft converged and collided about 1.5 miles south-east of the airport. No known witnesses saw the collision; the altitude and headings of the aircraft were not verified. During impact, the two aircraft became entangled and they impacted the ground at the same location.
An investigation revealed evidence that the high wing Cessna and the low wing PA-28 converged laterally, while on flight paths that angled towards each other. The NTSB determined the cause to be: Failure of the pilots in both aircraft to see-and-avoid the other aircraft
