Cirrus Aircraft has reached a production milestone with the delivery of its 10,000 SR-series piston-single airplane.

To celebrate the achievement, the Minnesota-based manufacturer unveiled a one-of-a-kind 10,000th SR series airplane. The milestone airplane—a SR22T G7, appropriately registered as N10000—sports a custom blue-and-white paint scheme incorporating X, the Roman numeral for 10.
