"Felix" appears in two locations on this CAG bird. He is prominently in view on the tail, but he also appears on the fuselage just beneath the wing root.

Gavin & Darryl ... Much appreciated, guys. We're having a "Spotters Get Together" here later this week. I'm hosting. Going to show them 15 or so locations around RNO and then some at other area airports. Then, it's my turn to go "on the road" for a photog's trip. I hope that someday you and I will be able to do the same. (Wave)
