"Eclipse 500 jets designed by Microsoft head Bill Gates"

Didn't know he was an aerospace engineer, too!

The article's over a year old, so I wonder how accurate it was to begin with.

However:

"Eclipse Aviation will act as the investor of the new project, which costs at least $80 million...."

One year from depositing the check, old Rayburn's going to be wondering where all of his money went...and how fast it went.

Hand a Russian the opportunity to clean your clock, and he'll steal your watch too.
