Three of the skydivers were standing on top of the wing of the plane when it collided on top of another Cessna. The entire group then jumped from the exploding wreckage, including the pilot who escaped with only cuts according to NBC. The other plane was landed safely, despite damage to both the wing and propeller.

“The outcome for us was as good as it could be,” Mike Robinson, one of the passengers, told NBC News.

Robinson, 64, said then that the two single-engine planes were in position for a maneuver called a tracking dive, with one closely following the other.

“The sun was just getting ready to set, it was our last load of the day,” he said Saturday. “It was just a perfect time to be up in the sky.”
