Found this to be an interesting watch. Jay Leno's Garage featuring the Cirrus G7 and demo of the auto land feature.

I see Jay already sporting the Cirrus SWAG. Send him a Comanche shirt!

I particularly enjoyed when the pilot was scolded for not joining the departure procedure. I guess the editor didn't understand what that was.
Departing a busy class C facing class B straight ahead, who needs a sterile cockpit?
Here's the flight track, BTW. Doesn't actually look so bad.

Hey, anything that gets free publicity for GA is a good thing. Don't knock it.

I don't think Jay Leno looking at autoland is quite that bad.

I didn't watch this, but I have watched his car show. One thing I like about Jay is that he treats everyone he brings on the show with respect. He said that people have asked him why he never has any negative reviews. His answer, paraphrased "why would I do that? I don't want to talk about cars that I don't like. I want to show cars that I love." We could use more people with that outlook in the media. He also loves the sound of a Merlin engine, and I can respect that, too.
