I had not looked at values in a while and they do seem to have gone a little crazy but there are some in that general ballpark and I believe the market is getting softer. https://www.controller.com/listing/for-sale/224877607/2014-cirrus-sr22-g5-turbo-piston-single-aircraft...

You might be able to make a Cirrus SR22 (G5 or better) work if your kids aren't too big and are willing to sit close. I am also 6'6" and there are a lot of planes that have too tight of a pilot seat for me (PA46 I'm looking at you). We only have 2 kids and they're small so don't have the pax...

Many years ago, I was flying my Cirrus into Teterboro and was asked to slow down for a Citation X (definitely NOT a slowtation). Hilarity ensued... You have to listen to the end for the best part.

It's all relative - we've all heard the "Slowtation" jokes but flying the slowest of Citations, I have gotten used to being called out as a slow mover to the big jets...

Half a year's fuel???? That's not even half an hour for me...

+1 My first plane was 1 year old, less than 200 hours and was under warranty for a few years. I talked to the shop that had just done its first annual for 10-15 minutes, he told me it had no issues and I sent the money. Very easy purchase experience for a first timer.

I’ll be there Saturday-Friday (22nd-28th) I’ll be parked and staying at Hilton Garden Inn - one of the three Citations on the ramp.

Some big but quiet fans if you're in one of the exhibit hangars for when it gets hot. I very well may buy your widget if it isn't too expensive or completely irrelevant to me and I get to hang out in the fan breeze while trying to figure out where my friends have wandered off to...

Yep. It's not really a club but there are several Mustangs, a CJ3+ and there used to be an M2 (which I miss a lot). https://aerocitygroup.com/aero-city-jets/

I think the owner should power up and go flying with these POS' still glued to the airframe...

Several years ago, my wife and I flew from our home base in NJ to Naples FL for Christmas with my parents. When unloading the plane on the ramp in Naples, I realized I had left my luggage in the hangar back in NJ. I'm 6'6" so it isn't easy for me to just buy off the rack clothing either...

Wow - these videos are frightening now that I live and fly in the same general area... I don't think I have ever come close to as egregious a flight as what this guy considers normal in my 3000+ flight hours.

It’s kind of like getting a new car every 2 years for some people. The money isn’t a factor for him and he doesn’t want anything bigger/faster. So, feature upgrades, new plane smell and different color schemes mostly.

Cirrus ramped production way up in 2006-2008 and hired a whole bunch of people to produce 800+ airplanes per year (IIRC) and then got burned pretty bad when the 2008 recession hit and demand fell off a cliff. I can't blame them for being cautious with all the macro stuff swirling around right now.

I have a friend who buys a new SR22 ever couple of years or so and he got pretty fed up with the wait and delays on the latest one. I think there were some specific issues with his airplane but IIRC it was nearly a year delayed vs what they had told him (which already included a considerable wait).

It has been a year or more but that may be getting shorter now. No planes produced for stock

I let my friend fly my cirrus once from KSEE to KMYF (7nm) to reposition the plane because I was based at MYF but when we got back from our trip, MYF was closed due to an air show at Miramar so we cooled our heels at the FBO at SEE until we could make the short hop back. We took off on on 27R...

You can park on the big transient ramp but there is a daily charge (don’t know what it is). I’d call CrownAir and ask about options with them and on the transient ramp - which may be the same thing. They are very nice at the front desk.

70 exactly year round

Seems like a weird plan. If it’s just for the plane to be stored for a year, it would be much easier and cheaper to find a hangar somewhere in the middle of the country (closer to OSH) than leaving it in LA. Even if it requires a couple of airline flights from hangar location to LA and back.
