Hi, I know I posted this question at the end of my last thread about moving to the Duluth area but I wasn't sure how many more readers would want to read yet another, I'm moving to the area what can you tell bla bla bla thread.
So anyways I wanted to post something separate about the Cirrus factory.
Husband is a pilot and he's going to work for them and transfer up there next year and I wanted to know if there's any buzz on them that anyone has heard.
Thank you so much.

Cirrus is expanding rapidly. They have a production center in Grand Forks, ND where UND Aerospace is also located. They have expanded 3 times in the last couple of years in Duluth and employ over 1,000 people in Duluth. Cirrus is building a $1 million dollar personal jet and recently unveiled a prototype. They have several hundred orders already without anyone even testing "the Jet" as it is called. It is an incredibly innovative company that is now one of Cessna's top competitors outselling them off and on for the last couple of years in single engine piston aircraft. They have a good reputation.

the personal jets and the prototype is what hubby is actually going to be a part of, the flying and delivering of them. it's good to know that they are good company and hopefully they are helping the economy up there.

I worked for a Cirrus Service Center in another state. Cirrus builds a fantastic product and their customer service is top notch. I truly believe they are the one's to beat in their market and in the very light jet they are developing.
