Weirdly enough, the same plane, with a different owner and pilot at the time, made an emergency landing on I-15 back in 2000.
Somebody died in this, so way to go turing a tragedy for that person's family into fodder for an epically stupid thread on RCU, and that is saying something considering the inane exchanges that occur in this forum.
Oh , and , by the way Mr. arbiter of the world's grief ,
I'll BET you right about now , the family your SO concerned for , would rather see MY version of this discussion , that ALL GA should be mandated to have the emergency chute have been put into place , maybe their loved one WOULD still be alive today had that little POS lancair had the chute !
But , it's far more important that the FAA regulate model planes , right Bill ? And that we can't even discuss this , right Bill ?
