Should be...the schedule for the airplane is not really set in stone yet. It has been a hit since we brought it out and is rarely on the ground. Its great to see it flying all the time!!

Jim, please keep posting your photos and experiences. Those of us who are stuck in an office all day get to see a bit of "life on the road" through the lens of your camera.

Fly safe and have fun!

Cheers!

Unfortunately not, we weren't allowed to get closer much less to the other side of it.
