Having worked for Eclipse Aviation before and during the delivery of all 259 aircraft, I can tell you that many, many talented engineers, technicians, management and support folks dedicated their lives to make this airplane a reality. It migth have been Vern Rayburn's dream, but it was the ingenuity, blood, sweat and sacrifices of the those of us in the trenches, and our families, that made it happen. Notwitstanding the Race to the Moon, the Eclipse jet is an example of American ingeniuty and resolve at it's finest.
