OO-TBB: Cuteness overload in NUE

This is Cirrus Vision Jet G2 (also known as Cirrus Vision SF50). It is arguably the cutest airplane ever. Last Sunday, I had a chance to see the airplane in person, and it's even more cute in real life than on photos. And the engine on top makes the airplane look even more whimsical.

I bet the conversation at Cirrus went something like this:

ENGINEERS: Sir, we've built the smallest and cutest airplane ever!

MANAGER: Well done! Wait... where is the... engine?

ENGINEERS: 😱 🤦‍♂️

ENGINEERS: No problem, sir: we'll bolt it on top!

MANAGER: Good thinking, guys!

ENGINEERS: 🆒 🫘

This particular little bugger tried to sneak out of NUE 45 minutes earlier than planned, so I managed to get to the airport just in time to catch it.

On an unrelated note: I can't wait for the construction work at NUE to finish, because those cones in the background are a nuisance.
