Ray tracked me down on the web. We each launched our first businesses around the same time and became friends. Haven’t been in touch for a long time. He invited me to lunch.
The purpose of the lunch was a business proposition, but that’s another story. We spent some time getting caught up.
Ray was extremely successful with his first venture and has done well with subsequent ones. This has enabled him to enjoy an extravagant lifestyle, which includes flying. His current ride is a Cirrus.
He said he’d like to take me out flying soon, but appeared a bit disappointed that I didn’t recognize the brand of his plane. He explained it’s the one with the built-in parachute system for controlled descents, should a problem occur. I needn’t have any concerns since there are over 30 documented cases where the system saved the pilot and passengers.
I suppose that is one way to look at it. Mine would be to question why there were over 30 instances where that plane was going to crash.
