    Subject: Re: SNF update
    Buz, Thanks for the update.I have been watching the AVweb videos for additi onal information.So far they have featured the Kitfox and Navigator 600 fro m Poland.However,I want to see the factory built Lightning being introduced at SNF. As a result,I sent a message this morning to the AVweb Editor requ esting coverage. Maybe some other Lightning fans can do like wise and email the Editor today. It will be a loss for the folks that wanted to be at SNF this year but will not- be able to get a visual and details on this new entry to a factory built LSA. - Rgs.,CRG --- On Wed, 4/22/09, N1BZRich@aol.com <N1BZRich@aol.com> wrote: From: N1BZRich@aol.com <N1BZRich@aol.com> Subject: Re: Lightning-List: SNF update =0A=0A =0A=0AMy estimate after two full days of SNF is fewer airplanes than previous=0Ayears, fewer venders than previous years,-less attendees than in previous=0Ayears, and much less rain than last year.- Folks, the weat her has been=0Agreat.- The field is still dusty, but apparently a decisio n to burn the=0Agrass off the aircraft parking areas several weeks ago is t he main=0Aproblem.- That probably should have been done several months ag o instead of=0Arecently.- There is nice green grass, but lots of soot in the sand.-=0AAll aircraft parked in the vintage and homebuilt areas are c overed in fine sooty=0Adust every day.- But hey, we are having fun in the sun.=0A-=0AThe Lightning and Jabiru booths always seem to have lots of p eople looking=0Aover the airplanes.- So if that is any kind of indicator, this should be a=0Agood show for both companies.- I even saw several of my Bonanza and Baron=0Abuddies looking over the Lightning and Jabiru.- Ju st from listening in to=0Athe Arion team as they talk to potential customer s, it looks like most shoppers=0Aare looking for an aircraft that meets lig ht sport parameters.- So that=0Atrend is apparently continuing.- =0A- =0AThere is still plenty of parking room in the homebuilt area, so come on =0Adown.- I have not seen any Lightnings parked out there yet, but we do have=0Atwo Esquals - N31BZ and Allan Maxwell's.- However, tomorrow-afte rnoon=0AWorld Record Earl will be arriving.- No they are not going to sto p the=0Aairshow for him, he will plan his arrival for after the afternoon a irshow is=0Aover.- =0A-=0AThe Lightning get together is still on for Fr iday at noon.- We will=0Ameet at the Lightning booth.- If you know wher e the FAA building is, the=0ALightning booth is on the road behind that bui lding.- See you there.=0ABuz=0A-=0A- Big savings on Dell XPS Laptops and Desktops!=0A=0A =0A=0A=0A
