Subject: [LML] Lancair IVP depressurisation
Hi Fred,
This picture makes my rear window loss incident look like a training session for 4th graders. I am flying again (with girlfriend) but I am pretty sure I would have a very hard time convincing any passengers to get in the plane with me after this.
Although these decompression incidents are very frightening and look very spectacular I try to believe that they are a lot less threatening than flying slow in the pattern.

Received this from a friend. Brings explosive Lancair decompression to a whole new dimension. Fred Moreno
This was Frank Fry's Lancair IVPT until about 18 months ago. The new owner has been flying very high with a high pressurisation differential. On this occasion he had a bladder tank on the back seat and was flying from Perth direct to Hobart over a lot of water at FL250 when the right window blew out. He diverted to Adelaide where this photo was taken.
