Notes on the United States Fleet

The first of the regular production run to be delivered to North America was No. 4, N1194, in 1967, to William Foley, AKA Motorless Flight Enterprises, the importer-dealer in the US. (This ship was flown by Gleb Derujinsky in the 1968 US Nationals and is prominently featured, along with George Moffatt’s No. 23, in the film "The Sunship Game".

Thirty in all were sold in the United States. One of these, No. 84, was reported in Selinger’s book (q.v.)* as being sold to William Foley/Motorless Flight Enterprises in late 1969 or early 1970, but the U.S. FAA cannot confirm this nor have they been able to produce any contemporary records for it.

Subsequently, one US ship (No. 23) was exported to the UK, and four more (Nos. 15, 42, 69, and 77) were exported to Canada. Four (Nos. 54, 58, 74, and 101) are known to have been destroyed, and one (No. 64) has been "returned to nature", leaving 19 Cirruses known or suspected to be in the current US fleet, at this writing. (One ship, No. 5, although "destroyed", was rebuilt and is currently in service.) Of these, the accurate flying/flyable status of Nos. 28 and 44 is unclear.

Finally, there is one "Sorta Cirrus", built in Canada and now flying in New York, which is comprised of a homebuilt fuselage and tail section, with factory-supplied Cirrus wings.
