Aero-TV: Completing The Dream -- Alan Klapmeier's Revised Vision

There's More Than One Way To Build A Jet

Last week, ANN and Aero-TV broke big news as Alan Klapmeier disclosed his plan for the possible buy-out of the Vision jet program from Cirrus Aircraft and Arcapita. As usual, we got the salient details to you right away... hours before official details leaked out and several more hours before some other so-called aviation publications could transcribe and copy the interview... (grin).

It was a pivotal moment for the Vision jet program as Alan Klapmeier signaled his determination to bring this jet dream to market, even if he had to start all over again (outside of Cirrus), to do it. As noted at the time we broke this story, with the knowledge and apparent blessing of both entities, Cirrus Co-Founder Klapmeier is raising funds to complete the purchase and development of the single-engine Cirrus Vision jet. Financial advisers, Merrill Lynch, have signed to provide the necessary financial horsepower to oversee the money side of the equation.

"The transition into this new company will be basically taking the jet program as it exists today, completing the financing, and moving forward so that we can get this airplane into production." Klapmeier notes that he hopes to be in a position to deliver completed aircraft by the end of the 2012 or early 2013.

But... there is more to the initial interview that we did with Alan... more details beyond the immediate announcement and we thought it germane to fill in the blanks and share the rest of it with you.
