But three years in China have now come down to three days; the movers arrive in nine hours; and I've happily spent my last reporting day -- at least of this stint in China -- in an uplifting fashion, at a tiny airport outside Beijing on a spectacular blue-sky day. Its managers and organizers have the dream of bringing convenient flight to remote communities across China.

Legacy fleet:
Cirrus SR-22 (with Cirrus's man in China, Scott Jiang):
Back to packing. Loose ends soon.
