Cirrus SR22 G7 - Cheap Fuel, Giant Runway, Cost of Ownership

In this video, I'm on a mission for cheap fuel, giant runways, and making an attempt to slip into Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW). Unfortunately, I didn’t make it this time, but stay tuned for another attempt in a future video—my success rate currently sits at about 30%. At the end of the video, I’ll break down my estimated versus actual expenses related to aircraft ownership so far. Additionally, I have an exciting giveaway! When I purchased my plane, Cirrus provided me with a one-year Garmin Pilot subscription (though I’m not certain which level it entails). Since I'm a ForeFlight user, I have no use for it, so I’m excited to pass it along to one of you! To enter, simply comment "Garmin Flyer," and I’ll randomly select a winner on October 6th. As always, please remember that this video is NOT instructional, and I’m not a certified flight instructor (CFI). A significant amount of content has been edited out for brevity. Thank you for watching!
