How will the third quarter look for Gulfstream, compared with the first two quarters of this year?
We really can’t compare the quarters directly because, as you know, we did a furlough in July, about four to five weeks, so work on our green aircraft and on completions completely shut down. We did the same thing in 2003 to save jobs.
