CONGRADS!!!!

And wow that's some awesome work!!! I might be able to manage that cockpit but the radar would put me in the nuthouse for sure. I don't see how you guys do it- but my hat's off to you!!!

I started reading the article last night, Chuck.  Couldn't finish it in one read, too much too absorb!

 

Congrats!
