Vern Raburn Talks About Flying The Eclipse 500 On Today's ANN
Special Report
How would you like to fly the airplane you've helped develop
over the past eight years -- from the initial concept right up to
imminent FAA certification -- cross-country from Albuquerque, NM to
Tampa, FL? At 33,000 feet? With every airline pilot you cross paths
with asking ATC "what's that?"
Eclipse Aviation's Vern Raburn (above) recently had the
opportunity to fulfill the universal dream of homebuilders and VLJ
manufacturers alike: he flew left seat in N506EA -- Eclipse
Aviation's fifth and final FAA-conforming test platform
-- from the Albuquerque Sunport to Tampa's Peter O. Knight
Airport last week for AOPA Expo 2005.
And... well, it's kind of hard to tell, but we think he enjoyed
it...
This feature is in addition to our daily news briefing --
available in either a quick "Touch And Go" format or an expanded
Aero-Briefing.

Aero-News Special Report -- Eclipse

News Program, with today's guest, Vern Raburn of Eclipse
Aviation)
Our DAILY programs consist of (at least) three separate
products... the first is a short synopsis of the previous 24 hours
of Aero-News, in brief, spanning only a few minutes (max) and in a
size/format that will allow it to be mailed as part of a Daily
Aero-Cast subscription; a more comprehensive DAILY news product
that will cover the previous 24 hours of news in a somewhat more
detailed fashion, and a feature Aero-Cast that will center on one
of the more important subject or topics of the day in considerable
depth and detail. This is how these products break down...
- ANN's Daily 'Touch & Go' Aero-Cast: A quick look at the
most recent news of the day... short, succinct and to the point.
The usual 'Touch & Go' takes but a few minutes and is a
summary, only, of the day's events. It only takes a few minutes of
your time and will be available by subscription, shortly.
- ANN's Daily Briefing Aero-Cast: The Daily ANN Report (ANNRep
for short), is a more comprehensive look at the day's news. We'll
give you the whole buzz... the news and features that occupy the
forefront of aviation news as well as solid background on the
subjects that aviators and other aviation professionals need to
stay informed on.
- ANN's Daily 'ASR' Feature Aero-Cast: ANN will be offering a
Daily 'Aero-News Special Report.' This involves a more in-depth
view of a story or two that dominated (or will be dominating) the
day's news. Far more detailed than any single story in our standard
ANN Daily Reports, this is a solid chance to get a close look at
the stories and topics that matter. ASR features may include
exclusive interviews with Aviation's Newsmakers, ANN's Special
Investigative reports and solid analysis of the stories that will
have undeniable impact on the world of aviation and aerospace.
We're tremendously excited about this particular product in that it
truly adds nuance and background to important breaking news stories
and personalities. While our current news format allows for
extensive reporting and information dissemination, ANN's ASRs
should set the bar even higher.
ANN has become a pivotal force in the world of aviation in the six
years that have passed since we undertook the immense task of
becoming the aviation world's DAILY news and information service...
but with the all-new news services we're offering as part of our
Aero-Cast line-up, we expect to become even more indispensable to
the industry we serve.
Check them out, let us know what you think and be sure to keep
those news-tips and program suggestions coming... ANN is ALL about
what YOU want to know about in the world of aviation and
aerospace.
