Cirrus Design Unveils Paint Schemes Honoring Past Aircraft

Silver Cirri May Be Equipped With "Rivet" Patterns

ANN 04.01.07 SPECIAL EDITION: "A living tribute to America's storied general aviation aircraft heritage." That's what Cirrus Design co-founder Alan Klapmeier calls his company's latest innovation... commemorative "rivethead" appliques, that may be applied to the fuselages of all SR22 aircraft painted in the company's recently announced "Sterling" color.

"While it's no secret Cirrus continues to be on the leading edge of innovation and technology in the general aviation segment, we felt it appropriate to pay homage to the aircraft that came before us... the planes that truly paved the way for general aviation over the past 50 years," Klapmeier told ANN.

"Granted, a few of our competitors still insist on offering those same basic planes today," Klapmeier continued. "Nevertheless, we felt the time was right to offer a tribute to America's aviation history -- especially as many have noted our "Sterling" paint does a convincing impression of aluminum from 20 paces or so."

Customers selecting the "Heritage Rivet" option may chose from faux-rivet patterns commemorating several noted aircraft -- such as a Piper Comanche, Beechcraft A36 Bonanza, Cessna 172A, or Mooney 20C.

Each $250 applique package includes a numbered badge, recognizing the aircraft that particular Cirrus plane is paying homage to.

"I encourage all our customers to consider this historic option," Klapmeier said.
