Tribute to Miss Grace, New Cirrus SR22T G6 Delivery and First Flight Using Oxygen

[@johncande1]

Cirrus knows how to deliver a plane in style.

[@micjbaron]

Damn, can’t imagine the feeling of buying a new airplane.

[@micjbaron]

I’m building a velocity so I get the experience the joy of purchasing parts and slowly seeing it come together. Different then walking into a hanger and seeing the final product.

[@dannylee5588]

How much??

[@Quotenwagnerianer]

Neither can I. Mainly because I will never have the money lying around to afford one. ;)

[@shannonstewart4792]

@@Quotenwagnerianer Never say never. Unless you are disabled and physically incapable of certain things. Other than that set your goal and work towards it. You can do it💪

[@Quotenwagnerianer]

@@shannonstewart4792 Thank you for the encouraging words, but I know my spending habits and how many years it would take me to put money on the side to afford even a simple Cessna 172, including having the income to maintain it. That will never be within my financial capabilities. It would take me over 20 years of saving up and by that time I will be in my 60's.

[@robertbowling8393]

Watching this video for the 3rd time, I still get caught up in the excitement of picking up your new plane and bringing her home to Boca on her maiden voyage! What a stunning airplane. Fly safe and stay well.

[@bestdjintown]

I felt the same way when i picked up my first brand new bicycle :) Awesome video..!

[@reallynotpc]

Nate has a lovely job, introducing pilots to their new babies.

[@NikosWings]

He is like a delivery room doctor lol 😂

[@reallynotpc]

@@NikosWings Spotted him also with steveo1kinevo also in a Cirrus. I shall now play Spot Nate in Cirrus vids on KZbin.

[@muratoztrgt7625]

Being above the clouds. I've always wanted. Even sleeping on the clouds. 😁 You use the plane well. Congratulations.

[@RodneyBrowning]

I've only recently started following Niko, and even I felt sad seeing Miss Grace go. But this plane is amazing! I don't know what Niko does for a living, but the man made me into a Cirrus fan: he deserves the new ride!

[@mvanphilips]

What a sight for sore eyes. Absolutely fabulous. I love Cirrus. Many save journeys ahead.

[@SmittySmithsonite]

CONGRATULATIONS Niko! The new plane is BEAUTIFUL! I can only imagine how great that "new" smell is in the cockpit there. So wonderful when EVERYTHING is new inside and out - no scuff marks, no wrinkles, no fading - all new! Engine is ready for thousands of hours of service. Awesome!! 😎 Was there a significant difference in take-off power compared to Miss Grace, or is the turbo only noticeable at higher altitudes? Lots of great memories with Miss Grace, I can imagine. I've been along virtually for many of them over the past year and more. It's been a great ride, but we're all looking forward to 2019 with Two Sierra Zulu! 👍👍

[@purenatural5736]

My heart broke even thinking about the moments you had with Grace! 💔

[@caryfields3927]

Ms Grace and you have been a great asset to the aviation community . There’s nothing better than watching vicariously flying and living the dream. Inside the cabin with you on all the videos has helped me with my flying; have a new 182 myself over at kpmp enjoy your ship my man just love the interior! Hope to move up myself into one.

[@akoglocko1]

New bird, great landing & compliments from the tower!!!!! Life is good... lol Congratulations on the upgrade.

[@ivanriverooo]

Man. An agrounded jobless aviator. Before you kissed the nose of the plane, my heart was already shrinking in gratitude, but WHEN I saw you do that I teared up. Beautiful channel. Enjoying every minute of it. Efharisto poli.

[@ebenclukey7293]

Niko, congrat's on getting the new baby home. I know you would have liked to hold on to your first. I'm sure Miss Grace is making someone very happy today. Love your vids. Thank you for sharing your passion for the sky with us.

[@Ryvucz]

One of those things I could never experience in my lifetime without people like you on KZbin. Much appreciated.

[@msaviation478]

So sad to see Miss Grace go. Lots of memories will be remembered I guess. But that makes room for lots of new adventures in your new Cirrus SR22 Turbo. Have fun, fly safely and maybe one day you may bump into Miss Grace.

[@zacharynorman397]

Was just re-watching this again for fun. It's interesting that now Miss Grace lives not too far from me in California!

[@brianb5594]

Niko, wow! I am so jealous. What a sweet machine! Cruising at 17,000, Totally sweet! Looking forward to some flight level videos. Also looking forward to hearing you discuss high altitude flying. Better amp up your weather analysis. There’s icing more likely up there. Great video!

[@Iam-BruceLee]

Congratulations! She's at home in the sky. What a beauty!

[@Monpano64]

Niko love how cool, calm, and collected you are with your flying. Watching your videos really helps me with my flying. One of these times I’ll have to catch a ride in a Cirrus as they look amazing. I’m afraid I’ll want one though.

[@Limumark]

New G6, New graphics, new music. Total makeover! Great stuff Niko. Can't wait to ride along and see your new memories.

[@Freedom-iv8bk]

Beautiful new bird Niko. Great to see her maiden flight. May she serve you as well as Miss Grace. Looking forward to hearing the new name soon.

[@MajTom-wd2yt]

Thats a Lucky Airplane to have such a good home...Safe Journeys.🌅

[@niceguy2171]

You always remember your first..always, but that sure is a nice follow up! And it never fails..when you go to pick or, or deliver a airplane, you Always run into weather! But that's what your instrument rating is for, and with that wonderful avionics suite in that beautifully done plane, it sure is a lot easier to handle.

[@vanallen9453]

way to go Niko..such an amazing sense of time..space..and history .. just watching this great video..and your tribute.. once agaIn..and please..keep em coming...

[@SethBergile]

Watching you and Miss Grace the past 2 years lit my fire for GA and Cirrus. Thank you and Congratulations on the beautiful new plane!!

[@mikem.3412]

What an awesome event it must be to take delivery of a brand spanking new airplane. I am very happy for you Niko. You seem like the type of owner who will also take very good care of her. She has an excellent new home.

[@Meatwad650]

That's a pretty slick delivery experience. It may sound silly, but Porsche does it very similarly if you take delivery at their experience center. I did PEC LA delivery and it was magical.

[@503Zephyr]

Congratulations Niko! She sure is a beauty. Glad to see you can fly above some of the weather and make better time and be safer. Have fun and thanks for taking me along.

[@dabuya]

Congratulations, Niko! I’m living vicariously through you! Just think of the time you’ll save by flying high in that turbo!!!

[@philipgledhill7227]

I lads hope both of you are well. Brilliant flight buddy. Congratulations on your plane what dream philip.

[@harrythomas8868]

Big congrats on 122SZ. She's a beauty.

[@Quadcopterguide]

Wow. What a dream come true. Picking up your own brand new cirrus.

[@Hamradio54730]

Congrads Niko!!! Can smell that new "plane" freshness!!!. Appreciate all the time you spend on taking your KZbin family members along. Stay safe and healthy always. Blessings. Gus from Wisconsin

[@shannonstewart4792]

Man thank you so much for sharing your adventure. I do not have the balls to fly my own plane lol so i get to live vicariously through you. Riding motorcycles and being a police officer is enough danger for me. You chose the ultimate adrenaline rush. Be well and fly safe Niko.

[@bodriver9719]

Congratulations! That Xwind was a nice welcome home. Nicely done!

[@muddyexport5639]

Thanks for the ride and congrats on the new SR22T G6. E N J O Y ! ! !

[@erchep]

Congrats, Niko! I can't wait to see your new adventures flying your new baby. Safe flights, sir!

[@REBooner30]

Fantastic and congrats! The Cirrus pilot looks like the same rep who flew with Steveo to the Bahamas.

[@NikosWings]

He is

[@kenbryant2570]

Love your new airplane. May she bring you hours of fun and happiness..

[@n717eg]

Nothing like that feeling. I picked up my new Cirrus Centennial in October 2003 in Duluth, Minnesota (only option back then). The experience was amazing as was training all the way back to 8A0 in Albertville, AL. I still have and fly N717EG (picked the N number, July 17 was the day our adopted daughter stepped foot in the United States and became a US citizen, Emma Grace is her first and middle names, she is now a 19 year old college sophomore and athlete studying to be a Dr). Love my plane, but the G6 turbo with Garmin Perspective is truly something (price tag over twice what I paid back then too).

[@NikosWings]

Congrats to your daughter and always successes!

[@dr.chrisfragiskatos8341]

Congrats! You and my son share a name and a culture. Enjoy the new plane!

[@NikosWings]

Another fellow Greek! Welcome!

[@WhereNerdyisCool]

Wow that's a beautiful airplane. To buy a brand new airplane, what a feeling that must be! I look forward to seeing your future adventures together!

[@NikosWings]

Let me tell you that the delivery experience was something to cherish for life. What an adventure, what a joy that was!

[@WhereNerdyisCool]

I've watched a few and everytime I buy a lottery ticket, I hope....!! Enjoy the sunny weather...it's very cold up here in Maine!

[@catpaws798]

What a beautiful Christmas present to yourself! She’s beautiful! Looking forward to more great video’s. Congratulations Niko! 😀

[@aboriani]

Amazing stuff... been there couple of weeks ago. We picked up a brand new G6 and ferryed it back to Brazil. The guys at Cirrus Center were amazing. Our first flight was with the guy that drove you into the hangar (can't remember his name!). From Knoxville to Jundiaí Brazil took 5 days, with 7 stops (KFXE, MDPP, TQPF, TGPY, SBBV, SBSI and SBJD) and 28 hours flight time.

[@NikosWings]

That’s amazing! What a trip. The name of the delivery pilot is Dan

[@ricardonazario4391]

I would like to see you flying a bigger plane...like a TBM900 or similar. Love how you explain your fly as you are flying to your destination. Ricky Virginia Beach,Virginia.

[@ja1cspikes]

Congrats on the new family member! Cant wait to see what she brings to your channel!

[@patrickr8890]

Goodbye Miss Grace! Thanks for all those awesome videos.😭 Hey Niko, congratulations on your new Cirrus. Very nice indeed!👍I'm going to suggest a new name now if you don't mind. Silvo! That's it! 😅🤣😂

[@Golftime123]

What a beauty! Hope you still enjoy her.

[@NikosWings]

Every day

[@OldPM]

Congratulations Niko, she's a very beautiful aircraft. look forward to your coming adventures with her.

[@Elkcrest6]

Congrats, Niko! Always enjoy watching you fly. You are a great pilot. Enjoy that beautiful new SR22T!

[@sheldoncantrell4425]

That's a gorgeous plane, thank you for always sharing the experiences with us

[@fxpthl]

Bon Voyage Miss Grace and Hello to 122 SZ! Great homeward bound flight with beautiful clouds along the way. What ever you do for a living Niko, you must do it very well!

[@NikosWings]

Thank you Sir. We try, but in all honesty I work with an amazing team of professionals that do it right

[@britvolante]

Congratulations, Niko. She is a beauty! Happy flying!

[@robertlashier8779]

A dream only a few of us would ever have come true on a single life time. I am excited for you.. i would love to have the opportunity to just get my pilot's license.

[@dnizzle18]

Gorgeous plane. Wow! I want to learn how to fly now :)

[@yury5hab]

It would be also great to learn how to earn a sum of money necessary to buy such a plane))

[@BearcatRC]

I agree with both comments. Plane is beautiful but how to afford? Keep the videos coming please

[@NikosWings]

Save 15% of the price for the down payment, have excellent credit and get a bank loan. That’s what I did.

[@NikosWings]

Affording an airplane, any airplane is based on your personal financial situation. An airplane is a machine made for a specific mission. This airplane is made for business travel and long trips. Not just flying around for an hour. It is also expensive

[@robertlashier8779]

I went to L-3 Harris flight academy in Sanford, Florida last year at one of thier open house events and had the opportunity to fly the cirrus simulator. Great experience!!!

[@NikosWings]

I was supposed to do some simulator training there at L3 this past spring but Covid had other plans

[@dheyes803]

I’m not even an aviatrix but I love watching your videos. Even I noticed that the field of vision is much better than that of Miss Grace. I hope that this young lady will give you and your family many happy miles as you continue to share your flight time with those of us who will never become an aviator. Safe skies my friend. 💫🌎🛩

[@NikosWings]

I’d say start on something simpler and cheaper. It will be easier for you and your pocket.

[@patheddles4004]

@@NikosWings Well, I've just spent a few hours reading up on options for learning to fly. I blame you - thanks mate. :-) (turns out there's two flight schools at an airfield a few miles away, so that's handy)

[@NikosWings]

That’s fantastic...

[@PortCharlotteAlex]

Godspeed with your new wings Nikko. Looking forward to the next video.

[@rickewart372]

Like I said before Niko, you are gonna love the Garmin Perspective Avionics. Looks like an AWESOME machine! Congratulations!

[@u.s.patriot3415]

Thoroughly enjoyed the entire presentation. Amazing how us men/Pilots can become so attached to his aircraft. I miss my N4364U badly! She was extremely good to me! Keep up the excellent work Niko.🙏🇺🇸👍

[@mrmiyagi22]

I know a new car smell but I don't know a new plane smell! Congratulations Sir!!!!!!

[@NikosWings]

It is a thing too...

[@garydell2023]

Good looking plane Niko. Fly another 600 hours. Fly safe.

[@rbilardo47]

Congratulations on your new beautiful airplane. May God keep you safe.

[@mattyarnall4902]

I haven’t flown in over a year and a half, and decided to check out what Cirrus has been doing the other day. Holy cow, I have such an itch to get back into it!!!

[@HighMo]

What a dream that must be.....I'll be there with you in the not to distant future. Gorgeous AC. Look forward to hearing and seeing your impressions of the G6 vs. the G3.

[@Philbatteurdrummer]

I did my transition on a G6 in France definitely a nice plane, enjoy her and safe flights.

Hey Niko, this is Trisha from Suisun. Thank you so much for the referral to the Napa Airport. I took my first lesson on Saturday. I am hooked, and I know I will be good. Thank you so much Niko

That’s great to hear. I’m happy I was able to help a bit... happy skies

What a beautiful bird. I’m sure you are enjoying her a ton. C ya up there!!!

[@DJRobbie54]

I must say, I just started watching your videos two nights ago, 3-7 2019 March course, and I'm impressed with what I've been watching so far. Congratulations on your new plane, whatever you do for a living you have earned it, and have earned the right to be a pilot. I love the selection of music that you choose for your flights, and the editing is superb, for the life of me, I cannot understand why 46 people do not like this video, they are truly Walking Dead. I like your slogan (Safety First, Always), and I must add, that will keep you alive. Keep up the great work and showing us your experience of flying in the Heavenly Skies, Be safe. PS. by the way, the tribute to (Miss Grace) was very good, and I believe I understand why you called your first plane (Miss Grace) because she gave you a Merited Favor in the heavenly Skyes Above. Peace Brother Mann, and May You Have Many Happy ((Landings)). Mr. Cool Breeze. You Have Earned That Name That I Respect, For Your Talent And Skills.

[@NikosWings]

You are too kind...

[@John_Be]

It's funny I remember watching you live going though this and this takes me right back.

[@iridium130m]

So awesome ,congrats! She's awesome, nothing like getting one-seven thousand to cruise at +180 True and still seeing 30" MP! Gotta love that turbo engine!

Glad to see the upgrade. You will love the Garmin and the G6. Awesome platform.

I couldn't even think of buying a new motorcycle.... let alone a million dollar airplane lol

[@johngilbert1325]

though ya can't write off the entire motorcycle as a business expense in the first year, which is so often the case with new planes.
