    I provided a more optimistic take on the program's status rather than flatly stating it "wouldn't fly" without backing up that assertion. Frankly, neither of us are right or wrong until the wheels are in the wheelwell.

    You have your sources, the rest of humanity has theirs. If I and others want to take a risk in trying to witness a much-anticipated event in aviation history, that's our prerogative. End of debate.

    Never said you couldn't or shouldn't take the risk, just made a statement, and as you said visiting the Seattle area is always nice. People are allowed to make statements even if they disagree with yours Chris. I'll make a point of not sharing information anymore with the members of this site...it just makes life alot easier.

    I never said you weren't eligible to interject your point of view into the discussion. However, providing an alternate point of view (and evidence/sources to support it) does not equate to me trying to somehow put a muzzle on your viewpoint.

    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

    Get caught up in work for a couple weeks and miss a lot of goings on. I plan on being there, both at PAE for take off and BFI for landing. How often does one get a chance to see the first flight of a new line of aircraft? I have an understanding with my manager where I may only be able to give him a few hours notice I won't be at work due to the flight. Luckily everyone I work with knows I am an Airplane Geek and doesn't think twice about me missing a day.

    As for photos, I plan on having my camera out and shooting a lot, but will have to defer to Jeremy's photos. He has a definte knack for taking amazing shots!
