I saw this several years ago and, at first, thought that it was pretty cool.
But when you pull that chute, it appears that you lose all control of the aircraft--I'd rather take a chance on gliding down to a field or highway.
It is amazing that after that collision everyone was able to go home.Mid-air yesterday in Colorado. Video of a Cirrus coming down by parachute. Unbelievable damage on the Metroliner but it held together and landed. No one hurt.
Keylime Air is freight. They used to be a big pay for training scumbag operation. I haven't followed that kind of things for years so maybe they've changed. At least this pilot has some good skills.Supposedly the Metroliner is a freighter.
They should allow GA to do simultaneous parallel approaches...
They should NOT allow....
