Thanks Gary. I really enjoy the daily news digest which covers a lot of info that won’t usually be covered by others. The bright spot in this issue is the new livery of EVA air. It just looks much more elegant and minimalism than the current version. I also don’t see this covered by any other blogs. Great job!
