REFLECTOR: Congrats on big order

[Andy Millin]

I do not have information ... however ...

These are "Press Releases"  Velocity, Inc. did not have a history of making
these types Press Releases pre RRL.  Certainly not orders received, or new
models that may be designed.

I spoke with the Velocity guys at OSH and asked them what was up with the
"Turbo" exec jet that was announced in the press conferences.  I was told it
was a gimmick to generate "buzz" in the media.  As far as Velocity knew,
there was no actual plan to make this airplane.

This feels like "buzz"; not fact.  The Press Releases did not mention who
bought the 20 airframes.  Marketing.  I would bet this is the number of
planes Grainger "thinks" he might be getting from the factory.  Book it as a
major sale.  Send a press release.

I don't know what is going on.  I would caution anyone taking this too
seriously.

Andy
