Wow! What a great looking jet. Very nice pics. I would guess you were in some type of aircraft to capture these images?

Thanks! It is a cool looking plane, there were several of these personal jets on display and flying, now my wife wants one...as soon as we win the lottery:D

Thank you! These were taken from the ground, the pilot was nice enough to wave the wings on the pass in the last picture. That's why it looks like I was even with the plane.

Awesome looking little jet. I want one. I think I'll put that at #2 on my "when I win the lottery" list, behind a 1D MkIII of course. :)

Not bad for a company that started out building "kit planes..."

My how far they've come!

Excellent images. 3 and 4 are as good or better than anything I've seen in the trades so far. Cirrus themselves could probably use them.

Sort of reminiscent of the ol' "Fork Tailed Doctor Killer" ain't it?

Thanks to everyone for the kind comments! Those personal jets all seem to be kind of cool yet funky looking:)

It's nice to see the company progressing like that. Thank you for the very kind comment about 3 and 4!! Now if only the folks at Cirrus read the forum...I'm trying to save for a 300mm f2.8L ;)


Good looking images of it!

Thank you!

Yep, with what appears to be assymetrical jet thrust (along the pitch axis!) and within the price range of people without the typical jet level of piloting experience and judgement. I predict a few unfortunate "lawn dart" incidents will be forthcoming...

Cirrus has established a pretty good track record with their brand-specific training programs.

I'm sure there's a mountain of information being collated into the POH not to mention reps from SimuFlight and Flight Safety Intl sleeping on Cirrus' doorstep... :)
