Erick Nelson sent these to me last week. I must have been having a little trouble getting caffeinated that day, as I just realized I had never done anything with the message or the images.
These photos were taken December 28, 2004. Erick doesn't specifically say so, but I am assuming this is 473's first trip out since losing the "Bumblebee" paint.
Erick, my apologies for ignoring this.
