Hear hear! I caught an engine run on Periscope this morning but, because I had to get to work, missed the flight itself. Fantastic! :drink3:

No I don't, You started a thread that covered 44 pages, 600+ posts, and when it is finally flying, nothing, no links, no photos, no nothing, other than it flew.

I really hope you're joking, I'm guessing Dan and co have more important stuff to attend to!

Dan finds himself busy at least 8 days a week. His duties as "ramp boss" occupy most of his time. Since we have flown time is spent training air and ground crew. Training is required before we can carry passengers. Dan has taken on the responsibility of training ground crew along with other duties.
