I see those Key Lime planes daily hitting that airport when I am at the office, some of those fellas come in hot and fast. I been waiting for this to happen for some time now.

View Quote There is an air cargo outfit here that flys mostly swearingens. I posted a thread here a while back following one of them threading severe storms to get home. They fly them hot here too. Its pretty interesting to watch. |

Quoted: It did. You can see the chute and risers off the right side of the plane. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: The chute deployed on the SR-22? It did. You can see the chute and risers off the right side of the plane. How many of those have been used in real inflight emergencies? Would love to see what that plane looked like (as in if it would have been a for sure fatal had the chute not been deployed). Wow on both counts. One plane loses 3/4s of the rear of the airframe and stays intact, the other one just so happens to have an emergency chute. Everybody involved needs new underwear and lottery tickets. |

View Quote The wikipedia page says there have been 122 parachute deployments, 101 were successful, and of all the people on the Cirrus planes, one fatality when CAPS was deployed. Kind of impressive except for that part about 21 possibly failed deployments. |
