RIP Cirrus

If this had happened 2 or 3 years ago I would agree but not now. 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. I think
the plane the is the goner is the NGP. No reason for it anymore.

Geez, Cessna buys Columbia and the king of copy and paste hasn't posted
something of actual interest here yet?


You think that will really kill Cirrus?

No, just getting your attention. But Cirrus will find themselves a
distant second within a couple years. You just can't beat an established
company with a great dealer network when your products are similar.

Where does Cirrus build its aircraft?

Yep and major subassemblies made in a foreign country, Scandinavia. Er,
North Dakota. Whatever.

Isn't this about the point at which the resident xenophobes start
ranting about the company's majority owner being an arm of the First
Islamic Investment Bank of Bahrain?

(Contrary to common belief, BTW, the dominant ancestry in North Dakota
[and Minnesota for that matter] is German, not that of any of the
Scandinavian nations.)

Why ask me, you won't believe it anyway.

Why? You'll never fly one.

What are the insurance rates for the Columbias? I know the Cirrus is about 2x the C-182...
