A deadly collision between a passenger airliner and an Army helicopter left Kansas’ largest city grieving. The passenger airline took from Wichita. The city of 400,000 people has a proud aviation history. It once built many of the nation's aircraft and is home to the manufacturer of the airline that went down, Bombardier. The midair collision between the plane and an Army helicopter in Washington, D.C., killed 67 people. Some were young figure skaters who had attended a national development camp in Wichita following the U.S. Figure Skating Championships in Wichita.
