I'm with Kent and Brad on this. Steve said in a previous post that the first flight was in front of the crowd. He was there, shoot he was flying so he ought to know.

Also the way that the restoration team reacted in the video, is not something that is replicated just because the cameras and crowds were there. They were absolutely ecstatic and crying tears of joy when she left the ground. Those kind of reactions happen once in occasions like this.

Her first flight was in front of the people.
