Ok. I thought you were trying to correct me to say that it happened in Minot. Didn't know what you meant by "Minot..."

Sorry to hear that. Surprised I didn't catch wind of this earlier.

Not now, but at some point earlier in my career it would have been good for career enhancement.

Fwiw I love watching yall above me. Grew up with it, glad to be back home to see it again on a daily basis. Used to live 800 feet from the runway. Nothing better than hearing those monsters roaring for takeoff.

That's going to be extremely difficult. The jets out there aren't really kept in that great of shape. Plus, they don't have several of the upgrades we've done since they were sent out there. We were able to re-generate one a year ago because we were able to pull those upgrade parts off of the jet it was replacing. We won't have that "luxury" this time.
