Mr. Nicholas Morris of California, unlike many
aviation enthusiasts and pilots, did not make the annual pilgrimage
to Oshkosh this week. There are those who made the pilgrimage but
would rather be going where Mr. Morris is going. Cirrus Design is
very appreciative of Mr. Morris's business.
Mr. Morris went to Duluth (MN) to take delivery of his new SR
22. What makes this significant is that it was only in July 1999,
Alan Klapmeier, CEO and President of Cirrus Design, handed the keys
to the Company's first customer. Mr. Morris received
the keys to number 500 Cirrus SR Series production
aircraft.
"It is the people like Nicholas Morris who have believed and
trusted in Cirrus to deliver what we promised him, other customers
and the industry many years ago - performance, safety, comfort, and
customer value," said CEO and President Alan Klapmeier. "I thank
Mr. Morris and the literally hundreds before him, for their
patience, their trust and the opportunity to provide them many
happy years of flying in Cirrus Design aircraft."
Cirrus Design manufactures the entry-level 200 hp SR20 and the
higher-performing 310 hp SR22 airplanes. All Cirrus aircraft are
equipped for IFR flight: Avionics packages include dual Garmin
gps/com, an S-TEC Meggitt autopilot and an Avidyne FlightMax Multi
Function Display as standard equipment. Optional equipment includes
Stormscope@ weather information and SkyWatch traffic information.
The unique CAPS (Cirrus Airframe Parachute System) is standard
equipment on all Cirrus aircraft as well.
