Default Thanks Mel

We're done...! Mel showed up today and did a fine job of inspecting the Bird!
Certificate is in hand and we have a very nice final product.

Hmmm... What will be next???

Does Mel still circle the plane 3 times while walking backwards carrying an eagle feather mumbling something about the soaring Gods?

If Mel passed it she must be a good bird.

Congrats.

Hey, Watch giving out the trade secrets! You have to know which way to circle and the Eagle feather has to be a "sacred" one soaked overnight in 15W50.
