Funny you should bring that up. This evening on the 6:30 ABC news, Peter
Jennings' last item was devoted to the ballistic chute. The Cirrus owner
who lost a wing and deployed his chute over Dallas was interviewed, and his
plane shown, "intact" the owner said, in the bushes near a golf course.
Also interviewed was one of the Klapmeiers, a Cirrus designer/engineer. A
high-wing Cessna was shown deploying its chute, as well as a
downward-spiraling ultralight with its wings folded up. Whoever was in the
ultralight would have surely screwed the pooch had the ballistic chute not
opened.

I have a lot of respect for Steve Wittman and feel a little disdain for
someone like the BOob making light of his sad demise. As between Wittman,
for whom the airport, Wittman Field, at Oshkosh is named, and BOob, the
latter will never have poetry written to honor him or go down in history as
a great flier, aircraft innovator. and air racer.

He changes email, I change computers - the plonks get lost in the melody of
rah. Look at it this way, I get to plonk again and again!

Wow. Losing an aileron and losing a wing are the same thing? I
didn't know. I'll drop a note to Lionel Morrison, he probably doesn't
know either.
