I hit a seagull one time.. or it hit my plane.. not sure what the order was. I had a real difficult time finding the bird after that happened.... it just flew away.

These things happen. If it wasn't intentional, well, it happens. If it were me, and I hit the other plane, I would offer to replace the plane or at least offer to pay for repairs if it only needed repairs to get it right again.

We have not had many mid-air's at either of our fields, we don't really have a pattern except as noted earlier, we take off and land into the wind and tend to fly that way, as though we were in the landing pattern, but at altitude.. if you get my meaning... upwind is closer in, downwind is further away.
