When two planes collide in the sky, the news always talks of a MID-air collision.?

[jojo]

How do they define where mid-air is.

 

[Mark H]

mid as in "middle"...between the ground and outer-space

 

[Avondrow]

It means it did not take place during take off,climbing to altitude or on the approach to landing.

 

[Andy]

Mid air just means that it happened while the planes were flying
