Neat experience today.

I decided to stop by my local airport today (N38) as I hadn't been by in a while. While I was there, a Cirrus SR20
pulled up to the pumps. Never having seen one in person, I walked over and asked the pilot if he minded me walking
around and taking a closer look. He said, "how about going for a ride?" I said sure.

I suspect that flying an SR22 might change my opinion as the main thing with the SR20 is that it felt underpowered,
just like the Arrow. After flying a Skylane for 6 years, I really miss the performance, particularly on takeoff.

Didja log the flight time?
No, but that is a good idea! Probably only had 3 tenths, but hey, it is
time in a Cirrus no matter what. And I was sole manipulator at the time
so it should be legal, even if I was in the right (wrong!) seat.
