Weird - I would have thought that the wing tip of a Cirrus would pass under the wingtip of a Cardinal!

Steve,
I agree… although the report doesn’t say what part of the SR22 struck the wingtip of the Cardinal. I suppose it could have been the vertical stabilizer, although hard to imagine how. Glad that it doesn’t seem serious.
