Two people are dead after a midair collision between a helicopter and a fixed-wing plane in Arizona Friday morning, according to Chandler Fire Department spokesman Keith Welch.
Both aircraft are operated by flight schools, Chandler Police spokesperson Sgt. Jason McClimans told CNN. The plane that was involved in the crash landed safely at Chandler Airport.
The helicopter in which two people were killed was operated by Quantum Helicopters, and the plane which landed safely is operated by Flight Operations Academy, McClimans said.
