Nice to see Cosmic Girl is getting a new lease of life and isn't destined to become drink cans yet.
Had the pleasure of flying on her twice last year at the beginning of the year she brought me back home from SFO and at the end of last year she took me back out there again.
Hopefully this new part of her life will keep her in the skies for many more years to come.
