Hey Earl,
Glad to hear all went well with the hip replacement. Does it weight
more than the original? You know you have to watch that gross weight for your
next world recored.
It had slipped my mind that you had the hip replacement scheduled. I
do wish you had taken that camera. You and your nurse would have made a great
centerfold for the newsletter. So get well soon, and get Echo Foxtrot back
in the air. I look forward to seeing you at Sun-N-Fun. Also, I like your
idea about you leading a tour through the Carib. Who else but an ex-navy pilot
would know where all the nude beaches are. DO NOT FORGET YOUR CAMERA.

Buz,
I think I picked up about 5 lbs with the new titanium hip, But I'm looking
forward to some of the new Lightning owners to carry on the record tradition.
After all, Nick & Co have been getting the empty weight down on the new
birds. If we can just get one down under the 1102 lb TO weight WITH the gear clean
up, that would be a world beater. Now with the new Turbo Jab 2200 and its
120+ Hp and 4.0 gph at 16,500 and 140K just think of what we could do!! We
haven't scratched the surface yet.
Sorry to disappoint you about having recced all the nude beaches. I got that
info from the Bahamas and Caribbean Pilot's Guide. A necessary document for
anybody planning a flight between Florida and South America. A Lightning
group trip through the area would be very interesting. You can get anywhere with
less than 100 statute miles over water, and our short field capability makes
almost every island accessible. Yes, I have dreamed about and planned a trip
like this before, and even done part of it. And I have been to many of the
islands, either by ship or airplane. Some are pretty, some are drab but all are
interesting.
Is there any interest out there???
Earl
