The maddest day of 2022. Flying over the Grand Canyon in a Cirrus SR22, then jet skiing down the Colorado River at Bullhead City (KIFP) to after completion of my Cirrus transition training at Henderson Executive (KHND). Only just had chance to finish this edit from October!

That was a great video! You experienced what they call the US “The Cirrus Life” I first flew than plan back in 2005 when I was a student pilot. A wealthy executive from the Silicon Valley took me out in a brand new one. No one had them then. The first all glass cockpit. When I climbed in and hit the master switch and saw that dash lite up I thought I was in a spaceship. I will never forget lining up on the runway. The power was amazing as the plane took off like a rocket compared to the flight school planes. I got to fly her low along the coast line. I saw people waving from the beach. I flew her right between the towers of the Golden Gate Bridge. That flight changed everything for me. The owner of the flight school told me I made a mistake by going up in the Cirrus. He told me I would be spoiled forever. He was right. Once you fly in a Cirrus it’s hard to go back. Only a very few get to own one as they are very expensive and way past the average budget. Just under 1 million new. Most people will never sit in a Cirrus much less fly one. If you get a chance I highly recommend taking a ride. It’s like a Lamborghini with wings! There is nothing else like it. For those that can afford one there is nothing like “The Cirrus Life”

Thank you! That's very kind of you. The Cirrus Life indeed! Exactly as you say, the Lamborghini with wings. When I did the transition training from steam gauges it felt every bit like getting into the Space Shuttle. It took some time getting used to it gliding like one! You're so right in that it does change things and totally spoil you as a pilot. I do have lots of fun in the humble Cessna, but I absolutely adore flying Cirrus aircraft. Thank you for your comment and the story!
