As you can see, things got pretty slick around here. And this group's
own NW Pilot chose this week to visit! Here are a few pix of Steven
with the brand, new $600K Cirrus SR-22 he was delivering to Paris,
France...

Just an amazing aircraft. Of course, for over half-a-million bucks,
it had better be!

Ah the midwest, I'm currently sitting under about 7" of snow and about a
1/4" of ice that fell Saturday into Sunday but we luckily missed all that
ice you guys got. Snow I can handle, ice sucks.

That Cirrus is awesome!

I hope it stays that way. I can't believe he is making that crossing in
winter. Oh to be young, and if not stupid, then at least gutsy.

Apparently there is some European Value Added Tax that is going to
increase the cost of private aircraft tremendously...soon. (After the
1st of the year? I don't remember.)

This has driven a lot of people to buy Cirruses (Cirri?) before the
end of the year, which has made ferrying these aircraft hugely
profitable for guys like NWPilot.

FYI, thre is no such thing as a European tax (camparable to US federal
tax). Every nation within the EU has their own tax laws (though there
are some efforts for harmonisation within the EU).

Perhaps NWPilot can fill in the details here? There is some reason
that he is suddenly in tremendous demand to ferry a bunch of Cirrus's
to Europe before the end of 2007 -- and it had to do with taxes.
Dunno which ones...

They have a Value Added Tax (VAT) which is a tad over 17% plus there
was an import duty on aircraft.

I don't know how it works out for aviation, but for electronics,
radios may run from 50 to 100% more than in the US.

You mean this neat little $399 Compaq laptop I'm happily pecking away
on would cost $800 in Martin's Austrian world?

Dang, I knew my great-great-great-Grandfather Heinrich left that part
of the world for a good reason!

You can almost guarantee that by the time something electronic crosses the
pond, the cost in UKP is pretty much the same as the cost in US$. As
(currently) there are about $2 to the pound, then yes, things work out being
a lot more expensive over here.
