Default Re: Aircraft crashes into building in NYC

I'm not sure how anyone can find out/say that the aircraft was registered to Cory Lidle when the event happened just an hour or two ago. But, if that is the case, then here is a quote for you guys from the man himself when he purchased his SR-20 for $187,000

Even though it may have nothing to do with it, this adds to my thought that a parachut on an aircraft will make the pilot believe the aircraft is invincible.
