An Evolutionary Step Forward For A Revolutionary Airplane

After an external tour of the new enhancements boasted by CD, I spent a little time going over the airplane and noted a number of subtle fit and finish improvements over year's past (which weren't bad to begin with)… a process that can only improve as CD gains experience with the new manufacturing criteria for the G2.
