Unless something changed form about 2:30 PM today the flight out tomorrow to
CA by the single DOLPHIN has been postponed until Thursday or Friday.  Seems
they are doing a little work on it before it leaves and they were not going
to finished in time for tomorrows flight.  I will check back in with the
guys tomorrow and will post something more on the flight when I find out
about it.
