Hi Eric
Thanks for sharing those photos. That's the first time that I have seen AU-J in flight from the port side. The "Chief" looks good in the air. We were extra careful not to have him looking down while in flight. We wanted to err on the "up" side if anything and it looks like we were successful.
Cheers
