Plane crash in Burlington, MA. Cirrus with chute?

Featured Replies

This just happened here on Wednesday the 11th shortly after lunchtime.

It appears to be a Cirrus with the chute deployed.  The airframe looks to be in good shape.  The crash site is in the woods, about halfway between the extended lines of the two runways at Hanscom.

 

This is about 4 miles from Hanscom Field, where the Gulfstream IV went down 12 days ago.

Yes, that certainly is a Cirrus. One neat "feature" never mentioned though is that the hard-point attached web-harness may be used to lift the aircraft with a helicopter for more efficient recovery...
 
And yes, that is most definitely N813JE, as may be seen clearly on the starboard aft fuselage.
 
It's curious that FlightAware reports the plane as "Landed 4 days ago"...
 
...at an altitude of 3,500' and airspeed of 177 knots... :blink:
