He flew the airplane!!!!  Beautiful!!!!!!!!  I got goose bumps reading 
the last line of the post, too.  He will probably not think it, but 
Randy is a hero.  Another plane can be built, another human life/spirit 
cannot.

I do have a question, there is no mention of throwing on the boost 
pump...do we know if he did?

I'm not veryhopeful that the Chelton data can be recovered, I'm betting 
it got pretty hot in the fire...again, it's all secondary to the fact 
that both people came away in good shape.

Also, do you know what kind of restraint system was used in the 
aircraft?

It is very good to know about the structural integrity of the airframe 
after the crash.  The Legacy has proven to be very good at protecting 
occupants during off site landings....

Which brings up another point.  WIth the landing gear being so short on 
these airplanes, I cannot think of any situation outside of perhaps a 
corn field, where I wouldn't want the gear out to help dissipate 
energy.

I'm not an expert here gang, just throwing out food for thought and 
discussion.

Please pass along our best to Randy!

Cheers,

Barry
