SR-22 down in San Antonio

No discussion of the chute but "There was no fire and very little fuel spilled when it crashed, firefighters said. Any gas that was released evaporated quickly, Johnson said."

Fuel at SSF is substantially cheaper than SAT.

I don't know what happened here, but with most any 'engine failure', some type of fuel issue is always high on the list of potential factors.

For those who are keeping a tally on the SR22 vs. Bo's -- a Bo went down yesterday on approach to an Ozark, MO field. Hit the power lines 200-300 ft. from the runway. Two on board - an instructor and the NEW owner of the F35. Plane ended upside down, neither were seriously hurt (the passengers, that is - not the Bo).
