WGN's Bob Collins (was Re: [BC] Weirdo dials)

[Mike McCarthy]

Bob and the other pilot were both a few miles out on approach to 
Waukegan Municpal Airport when the collision occured. The other pilot 
mistakenly turned early into the final approach and hit Collin's plane 
which was already on final approach.

The bad karma for WGN AM personalities continues with Spike Odel's 
house going up in smoke while on a cruise in Alaska last month.
