Plane Watching Over Freeport & Saw This Cirrus SF50 https://www.flightradar24.com/SF50/22055031 Made me curious about it, so looked up on Wikipedia.  Did you know this Duluth MN plane company was bought by a Chinese company in 2011?  I didn't. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cirrus_Vision_SF50 "After receiving deposits starting in 2006, Cirrus unveiled an aircraft mock-up on 28 June 2007 and a prototype on 26 June 2008. It made its maiden flight on 3 July 2008. Development slowed in 2009 due to lack of funding. In 2011, Cirrus was bought by CAIGA, a Chinese enterprise that funded the project a year later. The first conforming prototype subsequently flew on 24 March 2014, followed by two other prototypes that same year. The test flying program resulted in the US Federal Aviation Administration awarding a type certificate on 28 October 2016. Deliveries started on 19 December 2016." Very interesting.
