That would be great, as it would mean that the slip in schedule, if any, is small. I don't remember the exact schedule, but we know that Spirit's problems made it increasingly difficult to meet. |

The wings are now in Bremen for system installation. They arrived a few weeks ago.

Hmm very little word about msn 4 since that last article about it possibly starting FAL 1-2 weeks ago. If all was going smoothly then all parts should be in station 59 and ready to move to station 50 in the next 1 week.
