Undergoing maintenance at General Enterprises.

Undergoing maintenance at General Enterprises.

Cirrus-alley at General Enterprises, the Cirrus importer and maintenance company at the airport. We get a lot of different Cirri from all over the world and business is booming, as is evident by the amount of planes outside (there's the same amount inside and in hangars). The Eclipse in the back of the line-up is also a regular here, as they're serviced by GE aswell. The full line-up: D-EGGT, N131SR, PH-ONK, SE-MDY, N137LU, N522PG, N123ZS, N23FK, OY-CSD.

Where other airports are hosting various narrow- & widebodies due to COVID-19, we've got our own collection going on. The Cirrus dealer proactively contacted several owners to bring their aircraft in early, just in case borders/airspace would close. This way, maintenance could still be performed. Visible are LN-ELG, D-ECCD, N147LD, N118DF, D-EHEG, D-ERHD, D-ENKH, S5-DKJ, N10PY, PH-TXW, 2-ZERO, 2-KNOW, N603DP, N10MC, N250CK, D-EUPL, D-EWPW, D-ETER, N226ML and D-ENFM (20 in total). Inside the hangars are more aircraft and I estimate that we had about 35 Cirrus aircraft on the ground at the time.

In town for maintance at General Enterprises.

If anyone can decipher the tail makings, I'd like to know.

On 28 September 2020 the aircraft crashed near Bois du Bosquet, La Chevillotte, Doubs (France). Unfortunately none of the 3 occupants survived and the aircraft was destroyed by fire. The aircraft was reportedly on an approach track to its destination Besançon-La Vèze airport.
