Glen, you can follow the R4D through the DFW website. Just as a sidenote, she will be scheduled for new paint at the end of the season, the latest estimate from a shop large enough to do the job was around $60k.

Plans are still in the early stage (i.e. no money) but last I heard the desire was to keep the same paint. There were questions about whether the nose art would remain the same, but I think that won't be decided until it's almost time to paint it.
