Icon20 Got “Thee Call”
After visiting multiple ADs and creating multiple “wish lists” with them I got the call after a 2.5 wait. Picked up a 2022 Air King. Was surprised but after looking at what are the most sought out models I see why the wait was short lol. Not complaint at all. This AD has started a new bad habit lol I’ll post pics soon. Any AK owners out there?

2.5 millennia is in deed a long wait. Must have studied liberal arts.

Congrats - enjoy it in good health! My dad's most recent acquisition, wears much slimmer than the 116900. Great piece.
