First-hand video of a BRS deployment.
"Mxsmanic" wrote in message ... .. I'm surprised that the pilot believes he is alive today because of the parachute. The aircraft doesn't look severely damaged; the control surfaces are in place. What would have prevented him from gliding to a landing? While I have no problem with pilots saving themselves with a parachute if they wish to do so, it seems like this one at least gave up pretty quickly. And how did he manage not to see the other aicraft? The weather certainly looked clear. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. NOTICE!!!!
