Another Cirrus 'chute deployment

Then you probably would not like to fly in airliners, either.

You're correct, I think flying in airliners is very boring.

My concerns weren't safety related. I think the Cirrus must be safe,
otherwise it wouldn't have been certified. As a pilot, I just want a
plane which can be controlled in every situation, spins included.

Well, the accident statistics make pilots look pretty bad in that
regard.

If I stalled my aircraft in turbulence at my operational ceiling and got into a spin
part way down, it almost certainly wouldn't wind up in the stats at all. With a
Cirrus, it almost certainly *will* wind up in the stats. The accident statistics
aren't a valid indication of how well pilots do in this case.

If a man gets into a fight 3,000 miles away from home, he *had* to have
been looking for it.

No such animal.
