Our new SR22.

It’s heeeeere!

Nearly three long months after signing the deal, my partners and I have finally picked up our shiny new(-ish) Cirrus SR22 in Duluth. Yippee! Taking delivery of an airplane was a new experience for me, and VERY exciting.

The first look at our airplane in its pristine hangar at Cirrus was almost shocking — it looked SO good, with its gleaming new paint and fresh graphics! In fact, I may have actually jumped up and down and clapped my hands. (OK, I admit it, that’s exactly what I did.)

In the end, we spent a bit more time in Duluth than we had planned, as there was a checklist of items we requested be changed or fixed. We were willing to wait for the fixes… in fact, none of us was actually willing to leave Duluth without the airplane. After a night on the town and the next day spent waiting in the customer lounge… our plane was finally ready to go home to Chicago.

Did I mention… Yippee!
