Travolta downsizing?
This taken from today's AOPA E-Pilot:
ACTOR JOHN TRAVOLTA AMONG NEW ECLIPSE 500 OWNERS Eclipse Aviation CEO Vern Raburn updated NBAA guests on the status of the company's production process. So far, the Albuquerque, N.M., manufacturer has produced 52 of its Eclipse 500 very light jets, including one delivered to actor John Travolta. Air Taxi operator DayJet has taken delivery of 12 airplanes and will receive seven more in the next couple of weeks. The production rate stands at about one a day currently; higher rates will be phased in over the next year. The Eclipse training program has turned out 98 type-rated pilots so far. Certification of the Avio NG avionics suites is scheduled for mid- November. Maybe he's feeling the pinch of high fuel costs to feed his 707? Or his neighbors are tired of the noise from his GII? speculation off |
