Matt & Rick Beach: Mr. Beach was the 4th new Cirrus owner I trained while working for Cirrus as a Factory Instructor and Delivery Pilot (a job I took immediately after my post-9/11airline furlough). We spent a week and about 35 flying hours together in Dec. 2001 (he picked up his new SR-22 a day after passing his Private Pilot checkride). We have remained good friends ever since.
