This wasn’t done in a Cirrus but hopefully it might make some of you Cirrus pilots think about flying around that beautiful country which - in your type of high performance and long range aircraft - is much more accessible to GA than most people in GA think
Having had quite a lot of difficult headwind situations this year, I would like an aircraft which does 200kt TAS but there isn’t anything “piston” out there which does that - except at impractically high oxygen levels and at a very high fuel burn.
The only realistic mission capability upgrade for me is a Jetprop, but that would not do the “lower level” stuff like this
