Thanks for the headsup.

This news says that Cirrus (airplane) flew into the tow rope. The
parachute looks like Cirrus' Airframe Parachute System, not from
glider pilot.http://www.9news.com/news/article.as...rovider=top&ca...

I have a tweet from a tow pilot who saw the collision. It says the
SR-22 hit the Pawnee not the rope. The tug's weak link should have
protected it if the SR-22 hit the rope.
