So, they started out flying in a 'sedan' and ended the flight in a 'convertible'... How - open air - of them.

I am impressed...
Anyone with a few extra $$ million laying around
should look into buying that Jet model, made by that company...

#5 The Swearingen Metroliner is an awesome turboprop plane.
Several years ago I would see Grand Canyon tour airline regularly fly out of LGB.
The turboprop would take off from runway 30 and then bank and turn over my house so I could hear the two powerful turboprops buzz by with a nice sounding whine.
The plane seemed to just glide/slice through the air with no strain from gravity or wind resistance.
The plane would fly to the Grand Canyon for an aerial tour and be back before dark.

#6 The aircraft had its own parachute which the pilot successfully deployed. Very prudent

#7 The plane with the parachute is the Cirrus; it's their big marketing schtick.
