Please tell me when you want me to discuss the record trip, and how long you want to allow. I suggest that the trip itself should take about 20 minutes to present. I suspect there will be some questions, maybe enough to fill up an hour. What do you think? BTW, I second Tex's suggestion about B&B. I will be needing an interior now and haven't decided how to do it.

You can rent a car, probably 45 minutes drive, dependent on traffic of course. Shelbyville has several restaraunts and hotels to stay at. I could also recommend Murfreesboro to stay. It's bigger, more to do, more selection on eating and lodging, and it's about 30 minute drive time away. It is also on the way from Nashville to Shelbyville and therefore will be convienient. I am unfortunately not going to be able to attend as I am really hashing out my thesis and revising that as well as halfway through my CFI. If at all possible I would highly recommend it. This is a good time to get to see a "naked" Lightning and get some expert advice on building, test flying, engine, future, etc. All my best to the crew in Shelbyville.

Tullahoma is about a 25 minute drive from the Shelbyville airport. Or, better yet fly over!

I was around and got to see a lot of the things that were going on and the planes in various build states and fly the old and the new and improved variety, but don't really know too much about the history.
