"The ship will initially fly solely out of Moffett Field, but will add Oakland International and Sonoma County Airports next month."

I can see the Oakland airport from my office window and I live near the flight path. I'll get good pics!

Now if y'all want to all pitch in to send me up for pics on-board... :)
