Potential SR22 Buyer - Chicago-Milwaukee Area

Hi, I’m considering buying a SR22 - I flew in one once, but it’s been years. Wondering if any members in southeastern Wisconsin / northern Chicago area would be willing to let me take a look at theirs, see how the cockpit feels, etc. Maybe a demo ride if willing - I’ll buy the gas.

Hello Eric, welcome to COPA!

Have you considered an introductory instruction flight at a nearby CirrusTraining Center?

Hi Eric. I’m based at SBM and fly an updated G2 22TN. Would be happy to meet up

Just make sure your piggy bank is full, if you fly one, you’ll want one.

It was six years ago today that Jim Knollenberg took me up in his SR22 and I knew that was where I’d end up.

Hi Jeremy, thanks for reaching out! I’ll see if I can find a time to get up to SBM - that’s not too far. What’s generally better for you, weekdays or weekends?

I thought that sentence was going to end differently. “It was at that moment Jeremy knew he f****d up” :laughing:

I still remember my first flight in a Cirrus. Hook, line and sinker!

Eric,
Where are you located? There are actually quite a few COPA members is southern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois. @jbehler is a great guy so you would be wise to take him up on his offer. :+1:t3:

Hi Eric. I am happy to meet you at another airport as well. My schedule is inconsistent. This week is pretty inflexible but next week I would have time in the evening most days or possibly Saturday

Eric, after you sit in Jeremy’s plane and immediately decide you need one immediately, please holler at me, as our inventory is bursting, and we speacialize in finding off-market deals. :fist_right: :fist_left:

Jeremy,

I’d love to link up sometime in the next couple of weeks. My business partner is also interested in seeing it. I fly out of Lake in the Hills (3CK), but we could also meet in Kenosha, Waukegan, Sheboygan, or any points between that are convenient. My cell is 757-812-5597 if you want to text me and we can figure out a plan. Our schedules are all over the place too, but we’ll make it happen!

Eric
