In the last few days, someone asked "What's happening with the Columbia
300.....?" andI haven't seen a word about it on the list since. I took the
tour at the last get-together too and it looked like they were just ablut
ready to go.

Any news, anyone?

[I was at the factory back in December and after getting the nickel tour 
of the 2244 Airport Way facility we headed over to the Columbia 300
factory...  it's really big and roomy.

And at that time it was really empty.

There's a ton of room there for them to get started with production, (if
memory serves they had two aircraft in the pipeline, but only a handful
of people around to get anything done).  I believe they're awaiting the
final FAA blessing of their tooling and processes to get into full
bore production.

Remember, this was a couple months back, everything could be different now.
