Popular Post munzieb Posted January 25, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 Its been about 5 weeks since my back surgery (MIS TLIF) and though things are getting better, they are not back to normal yet. Its going to be a few more weeks until I can back in the shop to start cutting again (too cold also). Before my surgery I had some interesting discussions with my surgeon about my procedure and aviation. It seems that he is a pilot of the Cirrus SR22 single engine aircraft. This aircraft has be out selling Cessna aircraft for several because of all the latest incorporated technology. He has some business in the midwest and he can make it nonstop there but he would really like to upgrade to the Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet. It's the least expensive single engine jet, fastest selling single pilot jet on the market today. It has the most advance avionics and also an emergency parachute system and a automatic navagation/landing system that will take the aircraft to the nearest airport and land. It seats 5 with a 1,200 mile range and max altitude of 37K'. It goes for about 2+ million. I made it before my operation and gave it to him on my followup visit after my surgery. He was amazed and really surprised I made it for him. Maybe I can bum a ride some day. Dan, barb.j.enders, Fab4 and 12 others 14 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAIrving Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 The surgery business must pay well. How much did he charge you for yours? Just kidding of course. That is quite an airplane and a beautiful cutting of it. munzieb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Johnson Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 Good to hear you’re on the mend Bernd and that you will be back in the shop soon. Beautiful cutting of the Cirrus Vision SF50. munzieb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 Been trying to talk my son into one. No he can't afford it. Says he will stick with the RC planes. munzieb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munzieb Posted January 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 Without diving too deep, he has another business that can justify the cost. He can trade/sell his existing aircraft along with depreciation, and can offset costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
