Cirrus has
established themselves very well in the marketplace and there are
enough of
their planes out that now to overcome the long term name of Cessna.

Where does Cirrus build its aircraft?

Duluth, Minnesota.

North Dakota. Whatever.

Isn't this about the point at which the resident xenophobes start
