You do realize this costs you any credibility about aeronautical matters, right?

I personally love the look and the
"high-tech" of the plane but if I were a pilot this delamination thing
would have me spooked. You guys as pilots should really check out the
NTSB site (http://www.ntsb.gov) before forming an opinion.

I used the NTSB accident page to run a search for Cirrus accidents where the
words "delaminate", "delamination," or "delaminated" appear. I found just one
hit (DEN06FA114) where, by the context, it appears that the parts delaminated on
impact.

In which other accidents did delamination occur?

I think it's sung to the tune of "a trolling we will go, a trolling we
will go..."

Where it's obvious it was not strong enough to withstand the g-forces
of hitting something solid at some where between 150 and 200 MPH.
