“We are truly excited and humbled to be delivering the 5000th Cirrus aircraft,” said Dale Klapmeier, CEO of Cirrus Aircraft. “When we started, we dreamed of building airplanes that made people’s lives easier and better. Five thousand aircraft later, we’re proud of this achievement and we will continue to improve upon that dream.”
Cirrus says its SR22 model has been the world’s best selling piston single “for nine years in a row”.
