I just love how niche your series is and how much I get to learn about women engineers and pilots and people involved in the aircraft industry. The aviation industry. Sorry. It's so interesting, and I just would never come across this information otherwise. So thank you so much for sharing it. And I. Yeah, really appreciate it. Thank you
