My  A&P called today to tell me that a Lancair 2 place airplane was flying
near Pueblo, CO when the iv-p N997PJ  Ron Galbraith described had the window
blow out at 22,000'.  The details are still missing but I was informed that
it was the pilot window that shattered.  The 2 place taxied up next to the
iv-p to view the damage.  Beyond that I know nothing.  I don't know if the
window AD was complied with or not.  It does however make me wonder if
iv-p's are better off flown pressurized at lower altitudes where the
pressure differential is lower.  John Wright iv-p Colorado Springs
