New enough and long enough. Nominator is QPQ-exempt. Preview of paywalled article checks out for the hook fact—didn't know there was such a thing as a chief test pilot, let alone one as respected as Davies. (That really is the linchpin of the hook's attractiveness.) Earwig seems to hit the external link titles more than anything else. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 04:14, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
