Lancairs are cool planes, it's too bad this happened. I'm sure your right on the insurance deal. Not that it matters but I'm surprised Lancair didn't certify the new 350 and 400 with the parachute like Cirrus just for insurance purposes. As far as the fuel exhaustion deal, the articles did mention that witnesses said the engine wasn't running at times and lack of fire in the photos so it seems. Can't do it. Not enough useful load. IN the Legacy with full fuel and a 220 pound PIC, he can only get in his girlfriend and no baggage right now. There's really no wieight left for an onboard oxygen system, let alone a parachute. BWB
