Aero-News Quote of the Day

"We are on the verge of achieving FAA certification, and are thrilled to be gearing up to begin delivering airplanes to our customers... While the majority of our certification program has been completed, we have faced ongoing supplier delays to obtain TSOs for their systems that have pushed back our projected late June certification by another several weeks. Although this is frustrating to the customers that are so eager to receive this aircraft - and the Eclipse team members who have been working night and day to avoid this delay - we are very proud that the Eclipse 500 will be the first VLJ to be certified by the FAA"
