I was not shocked by the news of N706BL passing its inspections either.
All along I was led to believe the plane was in great shape. Passing its inspections surprised me as much as a straight A student getting another 94 on his exam. Happy, yes. Surprised, No.
The part that did surprise me....if it is true.....is that the next plane into the hangar is going to have its interior gutted and placed into N706BL. That I didn't know....and that surprises and pleases me at the same time.
As for the reassembly of N706BL taking another 2 weeks, that too falls pretty much in line with my belief that May is going to be a very interesting month.
What I REALLY would like to hear about is the finalizing of the pilots and crew training. That is the part that I am "up in the air about" (so to speak), and that kind of information would shock and please me way beyond any information about the plane.....................
