Where/how do I get my install disk/image of Lion for my Macbook Air?

Just in case, to keep on-hand in case I would like to reinstall Lion, I would like an image file to put on a USB drive.


I obviously didn't get a DVD with the Macbook Air, but also didn't get any instructions (nor can find them online) of where to download my disk image.

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7)

That's because an image for the new MBAs isn't available to the public. A special Lion build containing MBA hardware specific drivers is required.


It is intended that the recovery partition/internet download method be used to restore/rebuild. This likely won't be sufficient in all cases--though it should suffice for most recovery situations.


As to an image from Apple--that would be speculation.
