Andrew's crash

[Richard Strickland]

As much as we hate them--mistakes happen and hopefully the guy's homeowner's
insurance will take the hit for material AND labor.  But Andrew's still out
the plane.  Thankfully there are very few injuries involved in crashes.  But
wouldn't it be great if the manufacturers would at least OFFER the
technology THAT IS ALREADY AVAILABLE to avoid this type of crash altogether?
(Actually, FMA does offer a 'don't try this at home' discriminating  same
freq.receiver.)
