This is not meant to be sarcastic: if the aircrafts has a range of 900NM (according to cirrus website), how the hell could it make the 2000NM hop from CA to HI, even with the best of tailwinds?
This was a ferry flight. The 900NM range of the Cirrus is with just the stock fuel tanks in the wings. On ferry flights, the company ferrying the aircraft will strip the interior and remove all the seats minus the pilot's and fill the interior/cabin with auxiliary fuel bladders giving it extended range.
