Did anyone actually think that a large fleet of underpowered, slow, tiny little no space to carry anything/ no payload capability jets were really the answer to any problems we are having in the aviation world today?

I talked know some of the guys who were setting up the training facilities in Denver at the UAL training center. They told me that the Eclipse had serious performance issues including slower than advertised cruise speed, extremely heavy control forces at speed and it simply had no legs whatsoever with any kind of payload on board.

I wouldn't want one of the little beggars if you gave it to me.
