Ben, remember our talking about 1st flight last December , you were absolute about 1st flight bt May 1st. I disagree that 1st flight does not matter , it is either my eyesight or else the light at the end of the tunnel has not got much brighter over the past year, always the same distance away. If we get certified the FAA may have to lay people off ??
Also remember if 1st flight is going to be to Russia, visas will be needed, so I do not see ticket sales before everything is finalized. the Visas are time sensitive and costly..
