I share the sentiments of others on here in that I believe things are going to be progressing quickly - I can't wait to see what's going to happen through the rest of June and beyond.

As noted in the link above, the aircraft conformity evaluation is a Phase III activity. I believe that all they have to do to finish Phase II is complete the training (so long as the manuals make it through this time). With all of the maintenance being completed already this means that Phase III will much MUCH shorter than it would have been (in my opinion). A few demos, some exercises, then proving flights . I am betting that the PPS will make some good upward movement when people see 706's tail number moving around on FlightAware!
I'm thinking that this is a great time to be invested here (FINALLY).
