Thanks, Fred.
Also, I know I probably left some unanswered questions in the article. Let me know if you have any.
excellent coverage! I had no idea you were onboard when we got her on film- you seated by the left side windows?

-What exactly does it smell like inside? Does the Carbon Fiber and plastics give it a different smell than that of aluminum alloys?Quote:

Also seemed like a really short take off from start to rotate. Can you go into more detail on this fact? The engines are certainly not as big as a 777 yet they are made out to be magical. Indeed I don't remember the sound when you landed, and Cary and I were only ~170 meters away.
Very cool, Matt! Great coverage.
Excellent report!!
