Pretty impressive sales for Cirrus in 2015. Not sure what the right comparison would be against the SR22, but clearly Cirrus is doing things right.

Also, 46 SR22's in air on Flight Aware right now....

Wanna race my dorky - clown plane ?

I promise you, it will blow the doors off of your daddy's Bonanza and that's BEFORE raising the gear :eek:

We've got a Columbia 400 and an A36 with Atlantic Aero conversion. Recently flew the Bonanza in for it's annual and flew the 400 so we could fly back home after dropping off the Bo. At 7500 ft. the Bonanza was only a minute behind the 400 for a 2 hour flight.

Obviously the 400 will be faster up higher, but at lower altitudes the Bo does pretty well for itself. A lot of that credit goes to the Atlantic Aero conversion, I picked up 10-15 knots with it over my previously installed 520.

Yeah, but was the Bonanza flown gear down like the Columbia :roll:
