Alaska midair collision kills GOP state lawmaker and 6 others. State Rep. Gary Knopp, 67, of Kenai was the sole occupant of one plane, authorities say. He was set to compete in an Aug. 18 primary.  Seven people, including an Alaska state lawmaker, died Friday when two small airplanes collided in midair near the airport in Soldotna, a small community on Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula. Alaska State Troopers said state Rep. Gary Knopp, 67, of Kenai was the sole occupant of one plane. The other plane was flown by a local pilot, and carried a guide from Kansas and four people from South Carolina.
