Anyone heard the one about the two Cirrus pilots who lost their engine over
Texas? Apparently the handle had a malfunction and no matter how hard they
pulled it wouldn't deploy the chute..[I think Cirrus published an AD
after this one] so they just ended up landing the plane on a road..
Actually, it was Lexington, KY. I interviewed the pilots after the event
and it was not a road but a field and they totaled the aircraft and it was not
an engine failure but an instrument failure in IMC. It was a Cirrus.
