ANN Thanks One Of Our
Favorite AOPA Expo 2006 Special Coverage Sponsors:
Cirrus Design (Display Areas #600, 800)
It is tremendously
difficult to raise the bar each year in regards to our special
events coverage, but thanks to sponsors like Cirrus Design, we get
the chance to try. These programs are no small endeavor... and
tend to be costly, to boot. So; that's why we're so thrilled
(OK, relieved) to speak up and thank the folks who are paying the
bills this week. Some of the finest companies in the business have
ponied up some very serious bucks so that YOU can read the most
comprehensive coverage we know how to offer.
Of course, when you're trying to do something extraordinary, it
always make life easier if you partner up with a company that does
the extraordinary every day... by delivering the next generation SR
series of Cirrus Design wunder-planes.
What else is there to say, we want a turbo SR22 BAD (and
not simply for the off chance of getting to see SR22 owner Angelina
Jolie at the next COPA gathering.) It's not surprising that the
combination of a turbocharger -- and a hot new Hartzell prop --
makes a wonderful aircraft even more so.
Cirrus has an SR model for everybody -- from the VFR-spec SRV,
to the midrange SR20 and on through the SR22 model line... and all
of them equipped with the groundbreaking CAPS emergency parachute
system.
Even if you've been living in a remote cave on an otherwise
uninhabited island off lower Botswana, you'd still have to know
that Cirrus Design has been turning this industry on it's ear
for YEARS. AND better yet, they're about to do it all again.
You see, 'The Jet' is coming... the first of a new
generation of Williams FJ33 powered GA jetplanes is finally being
discussed (just a little bit here and there, so far) by the folks
of Cirrus Design, and the aviation world is, naturally, all
agog. We know a few things about this program that aren't
public yet and we have to tell you one thing... the best is yet to
come. Cirrus Design continues to have an amazing effect
on this industry, and they can only help to revitalize the world of
general aviation and put more capable safer airplanes into the
hands of flyers all over the world... like you.
