As the dedicated reader may remember, I've retained my childhood fascination with flight simulators, my current favourite being X-Plane. A curious product, it's written by essentially one chap, by the name of Austin Meyer.
Austin's just bought himself a real aeroplane, a Cirrus Design SR22 Centennial Edition. Niiiice.
Jealous? Me? Er... yeah, OK. A little. :-)

Congratulations! I´m the owner of a SR22 receiving 19.June 03 in Duluth. I was flying via canada,greacland and scottland home to germany. It was phantastic! I´m very happy to own one of the most phantastic aeroplans of the word! Once again with best congratulations and wishes
