Narrative:

*3 small aircraft's were operating in the uncontrolled pattern at mgy at night. The reporting aircraft, small aircraft X, took off to make a closed pattern for a touch and go landing. Due to mismgmnt of their radios and not seeing exactly where the other aircraft were, all 3 aircraft were lined up on the final approach. Small aircraft X and small aircraft Z were making a left turn to final, while small aircraft Y was making a right turn. Small aircraft Y landed and got out of the mess. The others both made a go around and a safe landing.

Narrative: *3 SMA'S WERE OPERATING IN THE UNCTLED PATTERN AT MGY AT NIGHT. THE RPTING ACFT, SMA X, TOOK OFF TO MAKE A CLOSED PATTERN FOR A TOUCH AND GO LNDG. DUE TO MISMGMNT OF THEIR RADIOS AND NOT SEEING EXACTLY WHERE THE OTHER ACFT WERE, ALL 3 ACFT WERE LINED UP ON THE FINAL APCH.
