Default Just pull the little red handle!

I lost my best friend in a mid-air last November, a Cirrus hit a tow
plane in Colorado, we had a mid-air at Parowan and now the mid-air in
Uvalde!

I'm going ballistic as in Ballistic recovery system (BRS). At my age
there's no way I'm getting out of my ship unless it's straight and
level and under 1G.

For about $4500 bucks and a little work I can have a little red handle
that will extract me and my ship from a tumbling, lurching mass of
fiberglass that is doing everything but flying. Any body got the
straight skinny on the Uvalde mid-air? I'm thinking Chris did a flying
ground loop (air-loop) that spun him around so fast it broke the boom.

Little red handle anyone?
JJ
