More photos at the link, including some panoramas that came out pretty well, IMO.

I'll be seeing it in July when it's in St. Charles Missouri. Note that I said 'seeing it', not 'riding in it.'

The panoramas are nice but I'm a sucker for dramatic views of aircraft from the front or rear. I love that tail shot.

Understood. $425 is a pretty severe chunk of change for a 40-minute flight. But if you do the math, it's probably fair... six passengers per flight, two, maybe three flights per day, probably four or five days off for every day on, a ground grew of a dozen maybe with 3 or 4 fairly substantial trucks, truck fuel, av gas, insurance, pilots, advertising budget... hell, it's hard to see how they could make a profit.
