#7A single plane can do what?!
Form the first part of a logistics chain? Even a single plane has significant capacity to help distribute stuff, and you'll note from the blog the initial roll out is going to be 40 planes over the next couple of years.

#8A single plane can do what?!
If you watch the video, they say it's the first of the 40 planned. You always start with one :)

#9I'm glad to see this as lately "two day prime delivery" is really three day. Also had another delivery that said it would arrive on a Thursday (!) after ordering on Friday instead come on Friday.
In the 10 years or whatever I've been using Prime I've never had packages take this long as they have been over the last 6 months. Maybe they are testing out new algorithms?

Just to add to your observations. For me, several recent Prime deliveries have taken more than two days. And I live in the still fairly dense outskirts of a major metropolitan area, with an Amazon distribution center maybe 10 miles away.
