I am certain that there are SR pilots and/or owners
that have more money than brains. It reminds me of the so-called
"doctor killer" Bonanza high-performance aircraft that were the Thing To
Own back in the day...


I have a friend who's frequently outspoken on the topic of people with more
money than brains, and how they'll buy airplanes they're not skilled or current
enough to fly, giving the planes a bad image when they drill 'em in. Since you
can't exactly pick up an old Cirrus for cheap from an old farmer's barn, does
the fact that most buyers will be reasonably well-off (statistically) make it
likely that some impatient owners will Mooney the Cirrus, to coin a verb?
