The Eagle is home and in its nest! Blend Date 11/22 - Build Date 11/23 - Arrived at dealer yesterday and picked it up today :) Initially was set for week of 11/14 only 1 push of 1 week. Ordered confirmed 8/11 - scheduled on 9/22..
Quick picture - it was a little rainy on the way home...
The Eagle (Ranger) has landed!
