Oh....I accidently called the source of the rumor about "Russian" thumbs up before ticket sales, and the source said he had received a call from HQ...............AND THAT THE RUMOR WAS COMPLETELY FALSE.

Ticket Sales can begin 30 to 45 days prior to FAA giving the certificate......which currently is....IMHO....somewhere around August. That would put ticket sales beginning in late June the earliest or sometime in July.

BTW......right this down in your notebooks and remember the day............MY B-day is 7/12................

.....and no presents please............I'm way too old for that crap. As I tell my gal, "What I want for my birthday you can't put inside a box.........."
