In a message dated 3/2/2010 9:35:00 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, info@flylightning.net writes: Mr Davey Stanley of North Carolina, took to the skies on March 1st in his Lighting. This is the 50th Lighting to fly, serial number 64 was picked up here in Shelbyville by Dave and taken home for construction in May of 2008. We will share more on his flight and upcoming testing when we receive news. Initial reports were some minor tweaking and avionics set up needed. I am sure if Dave is on the list he might give us a report when he has the chance. Where in NC? I have a trip to Black Mountain next week. If he's close maybe we can visit.

Nick (and all), I couldn't agree more. Some of the best newsletter articles are by Lightning pilots who have shared their trips and photos with the newsletter readers like Peter Mitchell did in the March issue. Some other guys that come to mind are Gary Pennington (around Arizona), Dick Cleavinger (Colorado), and of course who could forget that Navy guy, Earl Ferguson and his world record trip across the US. So all of you, get out there, fly your Lightning and then send me some words and photos about your exploits. Heck it doesn't even have to be a long trip - just around your local area would be interesting reading. Some of the best stories I have heard are when you land at local airports and the reaction of other pilots when they see your beautiful Lightning. So tell us about those $50 dollar hamburger flights with some photos of your jet. Makes for interesting reading for the newsletter.

I am have gear farings installed on my Esqual-Lightning, which should be accomplished in about three weeks. I will send some updated photos, the results of our annual 100nm Spruce Creek race, and some other items. One of my best friends and neighbors (two taxiways away) has purchased a factory Lightning; so that will give us three Lightnings here at the Creek. Since more and more of us are aging, there will be additional Light Sport pilots. We are all ex-airshow pilots, so we plan to form a 3-5 plane demo team here. There are around 600 planes stationed here, and the Lightning seems to be the preferred plane. A German Company is also building a Light Sport factory here called "MySky". I allowed their test pilot to fly my plane, and he came back with about 6-7 changes for them to re-engineer their design. Thanks again for all of your hard work.
