Default Turbo Cirrus

Just read the article on the Turbo Cirrus in the latest Flying
magazine. What a beautiful aircraft - 194 kts at 12,000 feet in a
fixed-gear single at 17.5 gph fuel consumption isn't bad!

I want one!



Tornado Alley Turbines (TAT) did the conversion, and is providing the
turbo
systems to Cirrus. There is a great recording they did the day before the
big Cirrus fly-in last fall. It's a time-lapse record of all SR-22's in
the US. Early that morning you see little dots start to crawl from all
over the US, headed to the same destination (Ohio?). Mid-morning you see
this one dot depart Ada Oklahoma and just blow past all the rest! G

Do you have a link? That'd be a kick!
