Discussing the recent sad events in Venuzuela and Greece a group of us turned our attention to light aircraft and "mishaps". I recall tests being planned (with a cessna??) involving deploying a parachute from above the wing and the intention of parachuting to ground in the event of major failure. Does anyone know what the outcome was? I believe pictures appeared in various flight magazines?
