If the SR22’s left wing nocked the vertical stab, it had to be wings level, right? He wasn’t even making the turn for the runway.
I don’t think that’s the case, the ADSB seems to pretty clearly show a right turn. I’m guessing the left wingtip barely got the vertical and the right wing put a pretty big gash in the fuselage, while whatever psid it still had made it really spectacular. Hard to tell though. The cirrus looks remarkably intact. The tail is broken off, but watching the video it looks like that happened when it landed tail down under the chute.
 
Money, Max. Money.

Cirrus Training facilities cater well to owners, but there are a *lot* of people who rent. The SR-20s around here go for $230-250 an hour wet, and the SR-22s go for around $260-280 dry. Instruction is $100 an hour on top of that. I don't imagine they're renting out an SR-22 to a <100TT pilot unless that pilot is carrying some serious insurance, but I don't know that for sure.

It's do-able. The facility is top-notch, it is run by some excellent instructors, and the Cirrus program is, I have to admit, pretty comprehensive from nwhat I've been able to gather. I haven't paid for any of the courses, but I've seen the catalog and they do what I suspect is a pretty good job mating up the concept of flying a Cirrus with the rest of flight training.

It's just a different way to do things.

Well, no one's doing that here in AZ. due to insurance reasons. When I was in UT. doing the commercial phase of my training on a x-country, I went to Cedar City and saw SUU's (Southern Utah University) fleet of SR-22's.
