What Flying Is All About

Just the look on Lainey Woodson’s face makes the whole trip worth taking.

This was originally posted over at Flying Magazine.

From the post:

Six-year-old Lainey Woodson never had an interest in flying, until her first flight on Oct. 5, 2012. The youngest of four, she was always scared of flying, unlike her older siblings.

On a clear October day, her family traveled out to York, South Carolina (01SC), to the grass strip for a picnic and an afternoon of fun. That’s when her father, Bobby Woodson, decided to duct-tape his GoPro video camera to his 1946 Aeronca Champ 7AC, in which he soloed on his 16th birthday at the same grass strip, and capture the wonderful moment of Lainey’s first flight. And her reaction, well, it speaks for itself. But it’s sure to remind you of that unforgettable feeling of what it’s like to fly.

Generation 5 Cirrus SR22T to Debut in Salt Lake City March 14, 2013

The Generation 5 Vision-Inspired SR22T is set to roll out on March 14, 2013. Having flown the SR20 and SR22, I have to say that this is great news! The new SR22 and SR22T have been redesigned to accommodate 5 passengers and travel more than 700 nautical miles.

When the plane hits the ramp at a special “Inside Cirrus” event at Leading Edge Aviation (South Valley Regional Airport, Jordan, Utah), guest will be treated to the special edition Vision Inspired SR22T Premium. This model takes it’s cues from the Cirrus Vision SF50 Personal Jet.

Congratulations to the guys at Cirrus, and I look forward to seeing your new planes on my ramp later this year!
