Cirrus Death Trap?
The long knives are coming out now... This excerpted from an AP
article this evening: "Hersman said that as of September, there were 545 SR20s registered in the United States. Since 2001, the NTSB has investigated 18 accidents involving the plane; those crashes resulted in 14 deaths." They sure make that sound terrible, don't they? Why, in just five years, 3.3% of the SR-20 fleet has been lost to accidents, resulting in 14 deaths! Heck, that means that in, um, er, something like 151.5 years there will be NO Cirrus SR-20s left flying at all! See the whole article he http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061013/...an_plane_crash :-( -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
