Maybe not, but he can probably get you a "date" with a local. He knows all the good looking ladies in the area. ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 06:51:02 AM PST US From: "Colin J.

Only thing they said was "No airplane noises in the middle of the night!" Seems they have had problems with this before. :-) Colin K.

Hi Mark, I'm not too sure how to take that comment, but actually I do stay at the Country Hearth when ever I come to SYI. Heck, I've been to SYI so often that I probably could have bought the place by now. But it is the closest to the airport. Initially the "great rate" was based on my military ID, but I think if you say you are there as part of the Arion Lightning or Jabiru USA Sport Aircraft program, you will be given a special rate.

The engine is around 95K. Fast build options add 80K. As you can see it, can easily push 500K or more when finished. I think Kevin (flies Relentless) at sloair.com said it could be done for under 400K. All of which is crazy money, but hey, we can dream, and play lotto. They claim a cruise of 300 knots at 12,000 feet with a 22 gph fuel burn. The Vne is 370 knots. We're talking faster than a Cirrus jet or Piper jet and similar speed to Lancair's new Evolution million dollar home-build(with a $400K jet engine)! The only thing that scares me about the Nemesis is that because it eats up so much runway on takeoff and landing is that if there was an emergency and you had to land on a small strip somewhere, you might kill yourself. Which leaves the only option to bail and jump out with a parachute on your back. But if you do that, you just lost 400-600K because there is no available insurance for the plane. Which makes you only want to fly it accross the desert, where, like Kevin Eldridge found out with Relentless, you can crash land it anywhere and survive and get it flying again. Try doing that in a farm field on the east coast or down the Caribbean chain. The Nemesis really intrigues me because it seems like you are getting jet speed, agility of a fighter plane, and fuel efficency of a single. The only thing you don't get is a whole airframe parachute which everyone seems to want nowadays. If I had to sell my condo which I bought cheap and now has gone up nicely and virtually live on the street to have the Nemesis, it might beat having a roof over my head.

Some of the trainers, like the L-29, L-39, T-33 etc can be bought for much less than $100,000. They will be faster yet tho they burn fuel like it was the 1950's. But the savings of $300,000 will buy a lot of fuel. Not sure the Cubans will be thrilled by your traversing their island in an old fighter, but... Screw em if they cant take a joke.
