Today was the day for the Denver trip. I brought my camera to work so I could get a picture of the Eclipse taking off. Being a jet I should have no problem hearing it long before it lifts off and speeds out of sight. Plenty of time to get pictures. Anyway I drop my manager and his wife off at the Eclipse and head back to work. After a bit I remember (duh) to get my camera ready. As I start to pull my camera from it's bag, between hangars I happen to see the Eclipse zooming down the runway. Very quietly zooming down the runway. And then just as quietly zipping up into the clouds. Did I mention that this jet is quiet? It was all I could do to snap a couple of quick pics. Wrong lens, no zoom, no fine tuning the focus, don't even want to know what the white balance was set to; in other words I did not get good pictures. Below is the best of a sorry lot and a crop of the Eclipse.

Oh, and these were taken at 8:38 this morning. It is approximately 833 miles to Denver. At about 11:25 this morning my manager called............from Denver.
