## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

A PIPER J3 CUB WAS LANDING ON RUNWAY 010 AT NEW CARLISLE (3OH0), WHILE A CESSNA 172 WAS LANDING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION ON RUNWAY 28.  NEITHER PILOT SAW THE OTHER AIRCRAFT WHICH RESULTED IN A COLLISION.  THE WINGS OF THE AIRCRAFT COLLIDED CAUSING EACH AIRCRAFT TO SPIN OVER 180 DEGREES ON THE RUNWAY.  BOTH AIRCRAFT HAD SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE.
