Images from Messenger's narrow angle camera are better and better every batch. If you want to see the surface of Mercury as seen from an airplane window, you can download the latest batch (days 2013-79 to 2013-260) from http://pdsimg.jpl.nasa.gov/index.html, rotate the images 90 degrees to the right, and go on a wonderful journey.
A few randomly selected images (day 2013-189). -------------------- Free software for planetary science (including Cassini Image Viewer).

Those secondary crater images are remarkable, and they look different from what I've seen on the moon, IIRC. The craters have been almost engulfed by a ground-hugging flow that is presumably from the same impact that created the craters, but must have reached the area after the craters formed (i.e. tens of seconds later).

You're right, there is no doubt that formed at the same time. Beautiful view of Mercury. -------------------- Free software for planetary science (including Cassini Image Viewer).
