Default Mid air collision's What are the odds on this

Same two pilots,
two different airstrips,
Three weeks apart almost to the hour,
One pilot uses the same plane and lands with a hole in the covering,
The other pilot has a total loss on both collisions

First time Jim (me) is flying down the runway with a Delta pulls to vertical and,
Wham mid air, my prop removes 11 inches of spar from the center of Jason's Kadet wing.
I pull elevator and land dead stick on the runway,
Jason's newly converted lawn dart hits the ground fifty feet ahead, total loss.

Second time Jim is pulling VHS tape for Jason to try and cut with that same Delta,
I roll to inverted and push to flop over in to the wind and,
Whack mid air, Jason's wing catches my landing gear tears off of his Voyager,
I pull elevator and give her a little throttle and land on the runway,
Jason's newly converted lawn dart hits the ground a hundred feet off the runway, total loss along with the engine this time it planted on a large rock.
