• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Mid-air collision

Wow....That is the first I had heard of that...To bad that happened.....
 
Horrible.

My prayers go out to the the family and loved ones..


I remember seeing footage on YouTube once. A guy's wife made him install an emergency ballistic chute in his homebuilt. So......... One day, he is out flying, climbing out after takeoff, talking into a Mic as he is taping his flight for friends and family, and you suddenly hear a plane engine race by, and a line is in view in front of the window, and bang, destruction, noise, then the horizon is spiraling around the cockpit. He has hit a glider tow cable, the plane crossed his path and he hit the cable, slicing off a wing. He deploys the emergency chute and lives.

Nice to have those ballistic chutes and be able to live through both the accident and the landing.
