I could not possibly try to characterize this story. It's simply too strange. This is already nasty, and dangerous, and it appears to be getting uglier by the minute. http://www.aero-news.net/index.cfm?do=m ... e60022dec3

I know there are some issues with the source but if much of this is true it reflects poorly on a few folks. http://www.aero-news.net/index.cfm?do=m ... e60022dec3Wow. That is an understatement. If *any* of that is true... holy crap. What's more, it seems pretty unlikely that it would be untrue. Most of that is easily verified. There are too many players involved and too many specific facts for it to be contrived without being proven false. It doesn't look like that story is over. So, it's a war between someone with a bag of money and someone else who buys ink by the barr... well, buys bits by the mega. I personally wouldn't touch a new Cirrus unless I found this info proven false. Dan

Well, maybe he was being more critical of Dale than I recall.
Not to be a defender of Cirrus, but you have to consider that the author has a bully pulpit. He speaks of journalistic principles, but I suspect he doesn't fully understand them as you and I were taught. Gil, I don't disagree with you at all. Just another strange story.

I just skimmed a bit, but he tried to jump off the World Trade Center? Same guy?
