 I am quite happy to hear of Don's excellent pilotage, but quite sad about
 the "bent" airplane. Getting his Legacy down without a "scratch or bruise"
 is testamony that with training we all can survive a crisis in these high
 performance planes. I echo Brent Regan's thoughts that Don shouldn't jump to
 "permanent decesions" while his "spirit is traumatized".  I am speaking from
 experience having been traumatized in a IV-P. I had many many sleepless
 nights regarding my flight from the Middle East in a IV-P (some times I
 still do). That experience has made me a much more concientious builder and
 pilot.
 After reading about Lancair's Legacy fatal crash,  and the remarks of one
 individual who is not going to pursue his dream of building a Legacy, I can
 only hope that those who are or who are going to build one of these
 fantastic machines will learn from this.....training, training and more
 training.
