You have no idea what a pleasure it is to have
BRS as a Supporting Sponsor of ANN's Coverage of
Oshkosh 2004... but then again, they've been VERY supportive of ANN
Editor-in-Chief, Jim Campbell, in the past... The hard way.
If you take a look at the long list of LIVE/LIVING/NOT-DEAD
people who have fired off a BRS Chute "in anger," you'll see his
name on the list. So he's not just a grateful Sponsoree... but a
survivor -- thanks to the GREAT Letdown that
a BRS provides when the whole world has decided that it's NOT going
to be your day.
So... who are these guys? Simple... when all else has failed,
these guys are the only ones that can give you that ONE last chance
that no one else can (unless you have a direct line to the Almighty
him/herself). BRS is a company specializing in novel and
exquisitely engineered SAFETY systems... specifically, WHOLE
AIRCRAFT parachute recovery systems, that can keep an aircraft from
inheriting the earth at the kinds of destructive speeds that would
not otherwise allow for your survival. Over 150 people can attest
to this... 150+ LIVE people. Get the picture?
