I Think I'm in Love
I like airplanes. A lot. I took pilot training, but never quite got the private pilot's cert (something about feeding children). But I'm in love.

Eclipse has started an "Air Taxi" service. For the same (and maybe less) than a regular airline fare, you and a couple other folks can fly to currently poorly-served markets. I think it serves major markets as well, but with a more flexible schedule than large-aircraft airlines.
"Puddle Jumpers" are nothing new, but Eclipse expands the concept to longer ranges and more markets. I think it's a fantastic idea.
The Eclipse's jet engines are the smallest (as in most compact), and least expensive jet engines for the "executive jet" aircraft category.
