Hi Gerd,
The only thing that makes me think is the very huge quantity of low time
cirrus airplanes on the market, several mods in the meantime, complaints
about many problems and so on.


I think the glut of used airplanes on the market has more to do with current
tax laws than anything else. What with bonus depreciation and other
incentives to buy a new airplane, you have people wanting to dump their old
planes in order to get a new one and no one wanting to buy a used airplane.


Though I'm not lucky with the non-improvement of the avgas guzzlers by
Lycoming and Continental and I would really like to see some improvements
in crashworthiness in the 'old' Cessna airplanes (26g seats, structural
rework) I would never think of a Cessna as a bad airplane.


Actually, the 'new' Cessna airplanes are much more crashworthy than the
'old' Cessna airplanes.

These pseudo-religious fights Cirrus - Cessna Fans are ridiculous.

Yeah, right on bro. Fights between Ford and Chevy fans or Bush and Kerry
fans are much more meaningful.
