  1. Doesn't mean anything. There's also at least 2 fatal crashes of Cessnas in the last few days alone...
    I fly them and they are rugged forgiving and an excellent performer and yes the parachute gives a good feel when you're over water or mountains, especially at night.

    3. Actually if you're in a cirrus crash it will be either fatal or serious injuries. That's why we own a Diamond Aircraft.

    4. Very myopic "look" at safety.

  2. Just like high school. Although it was usually Ford vs Chevy.

  3. Does our NTSB routinely investigate air crashes in France? Don't we have enough crashes here to check out? I suppose it was because it involved an American plane, but I am sure French authorities are competent enough to sort it out.

    1. The country of registry, the country of the manufacturer and the country where the accident happen are usually involved in the investigation, but they usually agree to delegate the investigation to the one where the accident happened.
