Default Saw a VLJ in operation yesterday!

Yesterday, I caught an Eclipse 500 @ HFD.

While I've seen them many times on display at shows, this was the first
time I saw one in actual service. This particular example belonged to a
large medical lab and is used to fly cargo. I was told this plane is
around a month old.

I walked out on the ramp with several other spectators to watch it
depart. The little jet was very, very quiet!
