@paulhammond5155 @isaiah It's still super interesting they use a smartphone processor(Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 to be exact) on Ginny and that's it's holding up so well!

I have to admit I thought they would be lucky to survive a few months... Yet, here we are >2 years on

BTW - Just got some of the flight 54 images
