Yeah, maybe so, but it still looks like fun and an amazing, challenging project. Best of luck to all your endeavors. Say Hi to Jim, Jackie, Morgan, Sandra, Stewart, Liz, Tim, Tago and all of the other team members I will remember about two seconds after I hit "Post Entry."

Do I recall correctly that Einar Enevoldson descibed the Egrett as the
worst plane he ever flew (and considering some of the candidates at
NASA Dryden, that would be an amazing distiction).
