sharing.  :aok
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

 :aok Thanks for sharing.

The condition of the plane is amazing to me.  :O
Even as they were lifting it out of the water it looked like it was in very good shape.

And the fact that it's going back to the place where it was built is just too cool.  :cheers:
