She looks fresh (boy, was her flight deck a mess), I hope I can get over to her later this year. I see they have reoriented the aircraft on deck to face inwards and back - much smarter from a presentation point of view.

Good going, Devin.

But that would require planning on my part! I actually have four friends who are professional photographers and have tons of Canon stuff that they've offered to loan me. I guess I should take them up on it sometime.
