Fantastic news. My fingers are firmly crossed for a positive result and imminent sign-off.

The plane looks gorgeous in NMF. Can't wait for it to fly and see some nice in-flight photos.
The top of forward part of the fuselage looks unpolished (hard to tell from the pictures). Does anyone know what is going on with that area...if anything?

Based on the article, the answer to Oshkosh would seem to be "No" for 2016, given those flight engineer constraints.

Maybe not legally, but I’m sure the CAF wants one on board when they carry passengers and it sounds like the FAA wants one on board for these tests.
FYI - There was a F/E on board when I flew on her.
