The text makes it look like the Cirrus was IFR, doesn't it? Do radar
tracks and ATC communication recordings become part of the public
record in cases like this? There were three pairs of eyeballs out
there, but somehow no one saw the threat early enough to avoid it.
Added immediately to my checklist: "Do clearing turns when approaching
the pattern at an uncontrolled airport, IFR or VFR"
