Found this posted today on WIX. Well Done!!! to all involved.
After 19 months and right at 15,000 hours of labor, FIFI took to the air. We ended up having two seperate flights, putting a total of just over three hours on her. We only had two minor discrepancies to address after the first flight, which took only about an hour to resolve. We hope to be on tour next week, starting in Atlanta.
