Unhappy SR20 Down, Chute deployed 2 lost

From Aero-News.net

http://aero-news.net/index.cfm?Conte...-86807023f148&


The last Par is of interest, regardless of safety equipment VFR into IMC, is, will and has always been dangerous, be careful out there in the winter with marginal weather. George

PS THIS IS NOT INTENDED TO MAKE A DEBATE ABOUT CHUTES ON AIRFRAMES. FLYING IS DANGEROUS AND IT IS JUST SAD, NOT TO BE A BUMMER, I JUST WANT ALL MY FELLOW AVIATORS, ESPECIALLY MY RV FLYERS, TO BE CAREFUL.

Default Poor product placement

Did anyone else get an ad for the SR-22 with the article? Oops.

Just saw on the news that another homebuilt went down in Camarillo. The quick glance I saw on the news looked to me like a Lancair or Glasair. The plane was totaled, but the pilot walked away thank goodness.
