thanks for the info.Mira’s flight card is a 4″ Iris– “The Dream Chaser” (first flight) It’s turquoise with pink and chrome flames!

if it is of any help, I am in Longmont and work in Arvada. If needed, Warren could drop it off here (north side of Longmont, just off of 66) and I could take it to Arvada with me
