Aircraft manufactured 2015 and would had been equipped with G-1000. Theory of CAP having new planes with glass panels to prevent accidents not applicable in this case. Pilots did a great job of minimizing damage and injuries. Again an example for all of us fellow pilots to look up to and learn from.
