Also, I wouldn't listen to anyone one person on a forum (including me)! Go fly them all. If you have the money you say, rent them all. Even the Jets before you buy. Get to know your mission and then realize it's going to change as soon as you get the plane :) I frequently flew east coast to...

Before I bought my Cirrus, I flew the CTLS. It's a very nice plane. It flies similar to the Cirrus, IMO. As for the sight picture, side yoke, center stick, etc. after 10 hours or so in the plane, you won't care, it will become natural. Everyone has their own preferences, and I prefer the side...

I can relate to this topic very well, minus the medical (which, I'm thankful for). My advice is simple (based on my life): before you buy an airplane, what attracted you to aviation? This is the biggest question you need to answer, IMO. For me, it more about open flight and getting off the...

If mooney wants to disrupt the market, they need to think like Tesla, not Ford. That's what Currus did in the beginning and it has worked out very well for them. I bought my Cirrus in 2009, when people on here hated the plane (many still do), but, many have seen the benefits of Cirrus design...

I'm an odd ball, I actually like the SR20.... It was my first and only bird. It is significantly more comfortable than the Da40, or at least it was when I bought one. I was really hoping that the Delta Hawk Diesel was going to work out. That would have been a cool ship.

I focus more on Medical Operations, either running the day to day operations or, like I did as a consultant, build numerous clinics to grow revenue for a hospital. But, I'm open to anything actually! I enlisted at 17, E-1 and will Retire as a LTC, right now I'm trying to learn more about...

Thank you. Now I'm looking for a job after the military. It's an exciting time, but, at the same time scary.

What is this elusive creature y'all be talking about "Hobbies". For the past 1.5 years, I've been a full time Army guy with a consulting business on the side. My "hobbies" included things like driving from one work to the other, sleep, showering, spending time with my kids, etc. As luck would...

They delivered their first jet, and now version 6. I'm interested, as I have not flown since I owned my SR20. And how I miss it!!! But, with 5 of us now, I would need something bigger. A pressurized Sr22 would be cool!

I thought it was a great movie! I really like that they all died. Instead of Luke's 9 nine lives!!!

FYI, Audits suck!!! Not only was I audited on My 2014 taxes, I had to amend my 2015 taxes and pay for both years!!! Ouch!!! Luckily, and surprisingly, the IRS did not penalize me at all. But, I had to pay back interest. Now, I'm guessing my 2015 taxes will be audited and I will have to pay...

I bought pharmaceutical company before the election. As I thought mainstream media was wrong!! Luckily I was right. I'm sitting much better now!

Not voting is a vote too. It seems this concept is lost in the news media today. By abstaining from voting, it illustrates your frustration with your own party and allows the opposition the ability to get more votes.

She's pregnant with triplets!!!! It's over folks!!!! Nothing scarier!

I for one love the design!!! IF, I had the money, it's a no brainer for its class! Also, congratulations Cirrus!!

Do it! As long as you know the SR22 is your end game plane (or close to it). Flipping planes is expensive! I loved my SR20, I still have a photo of me, the SR 20, and the kitty hawk memorial hanging on my wall right next to my bed. It's to bad we out grew the SR family, more butts than seats!

I hear the ground did it!

I agree, that's why I'm doing my research and going slow. I grew up on both in New England and cherish memories of both equally. So I have to decide how do I want to play it with my kids. Do I want a power boat for the lake, sail boat for the ocean. Or go RV or airplane. Innovation in...

I concur, you can save a couple hundred thousand buying used. The problem is, you eat all the costs, whereas, new and in charter it can potentially make money. Plus, the tax write off's. So I need to weight it out. But, I do concur with your practice.

I'm running the options now. Instead of an airplane and beach house, we would combine it into 1 and charter it for 22 weeks a year. This could offset the cost of the boat, just like putting the beach house in VRBO. The problem I see is, the charter season is around my kids vacation time...
