In March 2011, Cirrus owner Giuseppe Caltabiano took delivery of his second Cirrus. He generously decided to journal his experience and share it on Cirrus Owners and Pilots Association’s (COPA) forums. We reproduce it here, along with his fantastic photos, by permission. We’re so glad Giuseppe has enjoyed his experiences with Cirrus both in the air and at our World Headquarters in Duluth, Minnesota. Thank you Giuseppe!
I write this because many new owners have asked me questions on how the delivery of our new baby went, so I have decided to put it down in journal form as an "expectation setting" to new owners.
I am going to use people's first names since, while they deserve recognition, I am not sure about how best to protect their privacy on this forum.
We already had a 2005 SR22 (# 1739) with which we were very pleased, and which was saving our company around $30K per year compared to what the cost of our T&E would have been without the plane, but between needing turbo and FIKI, and the bonus depreciation, we went ahead and ordered our SR22T for delivery on November 30, 2010.
Ivy from Salt Lake City is our trusted Cirrus Sales Director and has done an amazing job from the get go. She helped us coordinate through other great people, Chris out of Portland, the sale of our old bird which was executed on Dec 2, 2010.
I joke about "having a fleet" for two days!
We purchased our plane N88XG, our company logo is NXG, under the demo leaseback program, which resulted to be an amazing winner of a deal (I think a true win-win.)
