My estimate after two full days of SNF is fewer airplanes than previous
years, fewer venders than previous years, less attendees than in previous
years, and much less rain than last year. Folks, the weather has been great.
The field is still dusty, but apparently a decision to burn the grass off
the aircraft parking areas several weeks ago is the main problem. That
probably should have been done several months ago instead of recently. There
is nice green grass, but lots of soot in the sand. All aircraft parked in
the vintage and homebuilt areas are covered in fine sooty dust every day.
But hey, we are having fun in the sun.
The Lightning and Jabiru booths always seem to have lots of people looking
over the airplanes. So if that is any kind of indicator, this should be a
good show for both companies. I even saw several of my Bonanza and Baron
buddies looking over the Lightning and Jabiru. Just from listening in to
the Arion team as they talk to potential customers, it looks like most
shoppers are looking for an aircraft that meets light sport parameters. So that
trend is apparently continuing.
There is still plenty of parking room in the homebuilt area, so come on
down. I have not seen any Lightnings parked out there yet, but we do have
two Esquals - N31BZ and Allan Maxwell's. However, tomorrow afternoon World
Record Earl will be arriving. No they are not going to stop the airshow for
him, he will plan his arrival for after the afternoon airshow is over.
The Lightning get together is still on for Friday at noon. We will meet
at the Lightning booth. If you know where the FAA building is, the
Lightning booth is on the road behind that building. See you there.
