Nick dude welcome to the platform. Your timing is really good. 1 year is about right to go from decision to onboarding with a ARC unit.
Lots of good airlift options out there. Are you targeting a specific region?

I had one of the moments during my topography checks. “Huh. I’ll have to send this one off to get reviewed”

Cheers
