Anybody have a date and source for when the first G1000 airplanes were produced? I believe it was in the 2004-2005 timeframe with Cessna, but am not sure.
When did the G1000 debut?

From http://www.cessna.com/CessnaHistory/His/History-2000-2009.html: "2003 - Cessna announces Garmin's new G1000® all-glass integrated avionics system will debut on all new Skylanes, Turbo Skylanes, Stationairs and Turbo Stationairs." and "2004 - Cessna achieves full FAA type certification for the Garmin G1000-equipped 182T Skylane. This is the Garmin G1000's first FAA aircraft-level certification on June 17."
and to specifically answer your question, "2004 - Cessna delivers its first four 182T Skylanes equipped with the Garmin G1000 integrated avionics system on June 29."
so June 29, 2004.
