After a suggestion from Buz and a bunch here in Shelbyville thinking it may be a good idea we will be holding our first annual Lightning Speed dash. This will be a dash from SYI to Tullahoma about 12 miles away or so and back. You will be timed from brake release to when you fly back over the Lightning Hanger. Yes we will have a ground observer in THA so no cutting corners!...so anyone interested please come to the Fly-in and give it a go. Going to figure out a prize for the fastest... Nick How about a separate class for Light Sport. Earl _____ What's for dinner tonight?

About 45 minutes ago the Air Force landed a Predator on runway 18 here. No, the pilot was not in an under ground bunker in Nevada, but in an enclosed trailer (with lots of antennas) here along side the runway. Nice smooth landing. I guess they wisely decided to come in early before the special arrival procedures start. I can just imagine the radio call from a controller on the ground near Fisk asking the unmanned aircraft to rock your wings. That could cause some concern to all the other manned aircraft in line to land at Oshkosh. The first homebuilt aircraft arrived late yesterday afternoon - it is a one of a kind high wing that looks kind of like a Whitman Tailwind. No homebuilts camping in their camping area yet. We have about ten or so vintage aircraft here (some camping), but I am pretty sure most are volunteers that arrive early to help out. Yesterday was also the "burn the grass" day along side 18/36 so that there are no unexpected grass fires during the afternoon airshows when the pyrotechnics are going off. I think the field went IFR for a few minutes when they were doing the controlled burn. Sure was a lot of smoke. Oh yes, I will be able provide more rides to friends and needy "foot soldiers" this year. I was able to get a nice 4 seat golf cart instead of the 2 seat gator they normally give me, so can carry three passengers instead of only one as in past years. If you see me and need a ride, flag me down and I will be happy to help out if I am not on a time sensitive mission. That's it for now. Buz **************What's for dinner tonight?

That Predator that landed is now on display and the markings clearly indicate that it does not still belong to the USAF - US Customs and Boarder Patrol. And no, Nick, I have not installed a "god" on the cart. But you can bet that if I get bored enough and find the time, I will be trying to figure out how to install some device to over ride the governor on it. By installing a "god" on gators during previous years I have had the fastest gator at OSH. When I would go blowing by other gator drivers they would look up and wonder why the one they had was so much slower. I feel the need for speed. Right now we have rain all over this part of Wisconsin and the field here is IFR. The majority of the storms passed to the south and looks like the weather is improving somewhat. However the forecast for the next several days calls for a 30 to 50% chance of rain and thunder storms. Bummer. Buz **************What's for dinner tonight?
