RIP Cirrus

Geez, Cessna buys Columbia and the king of copy and paste hasn't posted
something of actual interest here yet?

You think that will really kill Cirrus?

No, just getting your attention. But Cirrus will find themselves a
distant second within a couple years. You just can't beat an
established company with a great dealer network when your products are
similar.

Rumors of Cirrus' demise are greatly exaggerated IMO.

Compared to Cessna they have no dealer network.

I've found a great deal of overlap. Iowa City's FBO, Jet Air, for
example, is a Cessna AND Cirrus dealer.

If this had happened 2 or 3 years ago I would agree but not now. Cirrus has
established themselves very well in the marketplace and there are enough of
their planes out that now to overcome the long term name of Cessna. I think
the plane the is the goner is the NGP. No reason for it anymore.

Maybe not, but the people they have seem a lot more motivated.

There's no Cirrus dealer here, but they still come to town & put on demo's,
and they advertise in the regional aviation rags with offers of demo
flights.

I never see any of that kind of stuff from Cessna.

I read somewhere that SR22 was the #1 selling piston single last year.

You really gotta wonder where Piper is in all this. Their dealer
network is virtually gone (Iowa City was a Piper dealer for decades,
until 2002-ish), and -- other than token appearances at major fly-ins
(where they only talk about jets) -- you never see their reps in the
field anymore.

For a company that claims to be expanding, they sure appear to have
relinquished the field.
