Yes it is Merry Christmas to the Lightning community. I hear Santa is going to use the lightning this year instead of the sleigh, it is cheaper than feeding Rudolph. He will be equipping it with a set of Trick Air penetration skis for those roof top landings! He picked up a set at Custom fiberglass when he got his kit! Maybe we can get pics from the great white north of the installation! nick _____ From: owner-lightning-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-lightning-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of N1BZRich@aol.com Sent: Thursday, December 17, 2009 11:49 PM Subject: Re: Lightning-List: Another first flight!

Mark -----Original Message----- From: owner-lightning-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-lightning-list-server@matronics.com]On Behalf Of Mark Stauffer Sent: Thursday, December 17, 2009 3:44 PM 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.

Merry Christmas to all at Arion. Nick we need a picture of Santa in that lightning. How about a picture of all the lightnings on your web site so people can see all the different paint jobs that have been done. This would give people ideas on how great the Lightning looks.

Brian=2C The Horizon EFIS are the larger format screens. As far as I know this is the first installation of such. There are some other benefits tha t come with these EFIS as well. I'm writing an article for the newsletter right now and that's one of the things that will be in there. I'm sure tha t Buz is wondering when I'll finally get done with this article.
