Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I was recruited from CA where I ran a manufacturing plant in the home lighting industry. I got the “we want to know what you know” speech but knew I was in trouble the first time I questioned inventory practices and was told “that’s not your job”. Too many egos! I spent 2-3 months with outside consultants who recommended changes to inventory and parts presentation practices. We paid them a 6 figure fee but by the time the VPs finished protecting their territory our $1M a day waste was reduced to only $1M a day waste. The real waste was incompetent management. I wish the new owners nothing but good luck and success for a great aircraft.

Terrific little aircraft by the look of it. First read about it on Cringely X’s page about a year ago.

How about building a little intercontinental 4 seater with some zip to it. New York to Frankfurt in 3 hours. That would be something!
This thing is too slow and still runs on jet fuel. Electric would be better!
