Police say 70-year-old Michael Reinath and 76-year-old Linda Gifford died in the Feb. 19 collision at the Marana Regional Airport on the outskirts of Tucson. Reinath and Gifford lived in Rio Vista, California. Investigators say each plane had two people aboard when they collided. One plane landed uneventfully and the other with Reinath and Gifford hit the ground near a runway and caught fire.
