Paul,
 
I'm sure that this question is tongue-in-cheek.  But just in case, surely this simply means a collision between two or more aircraft while fully airborne.

In the interests of safety, I've been scouring many aviation-related publications for the definition of "mid" air. Is that at 18,000' where the air density is 1/2 of sea level, or at the mid altitude of the extremes of where aircraft normally operate, say mid-way between 50,000' and sea-level, or 25,000'? or the mid-point of where non-oxygen equipped aircraft usually operate, or 6250'? If any one out there knows, please clue me in. I keep reading about all these collisions that occur at mid-air, and would like to avoid that altitude if at all possible on my flights!
