Driving home from a long work night/day/week through Iowa City on the highway a plane caught my eye. It was a business jet heading east with it running gear down like it was going to land at the airport right in that area. I thought it was odd as you usually don't see many plans landing that direction. Next I see it's landing gear start retracting and the plane pull up. As I look to the left there is a prop plane at about the same altitude also coming in for a landing headed south. The airport has a north south and east west runway. There was also another prop plane not far behind the first prop plane also landing as I turned off the highway by the airport. If both planes had tried to land it would have been close but probably missed. Would something like this be a near miss and reported in some FAA thing?
There is a lot of air traffic and vehicle traffic in the area due to the college football game. Usually don't see much going into this airport.
