(N1BZRich@aol.com) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 01:45:26 PM PST US From: "Mark Stauffer" Subject: Lightning-List: Another first flight! A hearty congratulations to Jim Johannes of Huntsville, TN. His Lightning flew for the first time today with the ever capable Nick Otterback at the controls. First reports are it flew hands off and the GRT Horizon 1 HX screens are "awesome! Like flying Microsoft Flight Simulator X". Jim's was serial number 87 and the 49th Lightning to fly. We currently have a completion rate of 59.7%, all by the original owners/purchasers. Also, we've had 12 first flights this year. I hope to report at least one more before the year is out. Dave Stanley of NC is very close to having his first flight also. Attached are a couple of pictures. Please let me know if they don't go through.
