Earl is right, the capabilities of the Lightning would allow someone with foresight, planning, and determination (like Earl) to set another World Record for the Lightning. And you wouldn't even need to go for his exact record - just pick any two cities that don't have a current speed record between them in the category that the Lightning is in, and go for it. I am sure Earl would be more than willing to add his expertise to the effort to get you started, explain the required steps, and help with specific details. Surely someone out there flying a Lightning would like to have their name in the World Record Book - like World Record Earl. Earl will be signing autographs at Sun N Fun - free of charge.

    If the weather cooperates, next Saturday morning I will be waking up in my tent at the Lakeland Airport. Yes, my current plan is to fly down to Florida for Sun N Fun next Friday, the 9th of April, which will give me so me time to help with some set up volunteer efforts. Official start date for Sun N Fun is Tuesday, 13 April, so you still have plenty of time to arrange your schedule so that you can fly there in your Lightning. Last year, other that the factory and dealer Lightnings, World Record Earl was the only Lightning owner to fly to Sun N Fun. In fact, we had more Esquals in the fly-in parking area than Lightnings (2 Esquals, 1 Lightning). Surely this year will be different. In fact, here is a challenge; if World Record Earl and I can do it (at our advanced age) why not you? It would be great to have a row of Lightnings parked together. The key to that is getting there early enough so that the parkers have time to take you to a specific row. If you arrive at a busy arrival time, getting to a specific row will be more difficult. I can save some parking spaces if I know when you will arrive, but the earlier the easier. So if you know wh en you will be arriving, I'll be there looking for you - like I did for Earl last year. My cell phone number is: 757-879-5845. And as long as we are talking about Sun N Fun, mark your schedule so that you can attend Nick's briefings in the forums area. Nick will be giving two forums this year - one on opening day (13 April at 1300 in forums then #11) and another on Friday (16 April at 1300, forums tent #11). Addition ally, the annual Lightning get together at the Lightning booth will be Friday, the 16th at 1100. I am assuming that the Lightning booth will be at the same area as the last few years. Nick or Mark, please confirm this for us, and anything else we need to know as far as supporting your efforts. Hope to see you there. Buz The annual Lightning get together at the Lightning booth will be Friday, 16 April at 1100 or 1130 =93 TBD.

    Subject: *8WN for sale
    Two years ago I started having seizures on a daily basis. I had hoped they would go away but it's not going to happen. This is an increasing problem from injuries received in Vietnam to my brain and spine. I am thankful I was able to fly for 40 years. I am telling you this so you will know why I am selling 8WN and other kits & planes I have (Velocity XL-5 300 hp, and an Ercoupe). The Lightning 8WN (SN 26) is registered under Light Sport rules, 1320 pounds, since I knew I might not pass a medical. 8WN has 4.5 hours. For the past 2 years since it has not been flown, I just spend time working on the plane. It now has 30 gallon tanks, new canopy locking system, and lots of other changes. Greg Hobbs can fly the time off if you like. The aircraft is loaded with top of the line avionics, auto pilot, traffic warning, etc. For fast sell I set the price at $87,000, about the price of a basic with built assist. This plane draws a big crowd but it is an easy repaint if you have other taste. The aircraft had minor damage during a landing I made while having a seizure. The damage was classified by FAA as an incident, not an accident. I have pictures of the damage and everything was replaced/repaired by the book and more. Signed off by A&P (me). Home 520 742-5868 cell 520 834-4989. 8WN is located at Greg Hobbs in Marana. You can also call Greg for any info. I am giving Lighting family and friends first shot. Johnny Thompson, Marana Az.

    All, I just went to the Sun N Fun web site and checked the forums schedule. The two Lightning forums are scheduled for 1300 (not 1200) on both opening day (Tuesday, 13 April) and Friday, 16 April. Nick is a busy guy, so maybe that is why he thought the forum time was noon. Either that or he has ha d too much fun drinking Tennessee's finest. But do plan to attend both for ums and cheer loudly when either Nick or Mark says absolutely anything. If we get their egos built up by cheering them on, maybe they will share some of that Tennessee white lightning. Or maybe Max will bring some Florida white lightning. Either way, get happy and have fun. Buz In a message dated 4/3/2010 11:36:02 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, info@flylightning.net writes: Group, We are in the same spot as always.
