BUSINESS GOES BALLISTIC FOR BRS
Business is exploding for Ballistic Recovery Systems Inc. (BRS). The company noted a sales increase of 72.9 percent over the first quarter of last year. Sales for first quarter 2001 were $794,470. BRS attributed the majority of the increase to Cirrus Design Corporation, which installs the emergency parachute systems in its SR20 and SR22 aircraft. The system has also been used on Cessna 150s and noncertified recreational aircraft. BRS further expects to bolster its sales after signing an agreement with an investor who will help develop a parachute system for Cessna 172s. BRS officials said their system has been credited with saving at least 134 lives. For more, see the [http://www.AirplaneParachutes.com](http://www.AirplaneParachutes.com)Web site.
Hello Mike,
BRS stocks sure don’t show the increase in sells. I have lost about 50% since a little over a year ago. …
Great job on saving the Cessna. You need to contact Jim F. have him take some pictures of your N84MR doing spirals and write a nice article about your rescue of a downed Cessna. Great job.

PS I know why you are happy… you have a Cirrus, the rest of us are waiting to be happy too.

Woor,
The Cardinal pilot did everything by the book, kept his cool, and got the perfect outcome as a result. My only contribution was to provide him with a radio-relay for awhile, and to keep the other traffic in the area aware of the situation.
I did have a passenger who had a camera with a long lens… who shot off a roll of film of the Cardinal in the field. We intend to send a copy to the very lucky and skillful pilot.
Mike.
