Hey Buz: I expect to be there every day at the Ercoupe type table. Will
most likely see you either at the Bonanza table or the Friday get together. I
am going to leave my jet in the hangar (I am too lazy to clean it)

Darn, Lynn, bring it on over and I'll clean it for you. But at least you
will be there. I'll look for you in the type club tent. I did not
schedule myself to work with the Bonanza guys this year, but may still get roped
into spending some time there. Well, also might spend some time with the
Cub Club as well. Both good groups.
Blue Skies,
Buz
PS: How about all you other Florida Lightning guys? Are you afraid if
you let the world know that you will be there you will be mobbed by admiring
people wanting your autograph?

| Subject: | Sun N Fun flying or driving??? |
As you all know, I have been encouraging everyone to fly to Sun N Fun to
join in all the Lightning activities and have lots of good "bravo sierra"
sessions with each other while there. Well, looks like I might be driving
instead of flying. Bummer.
To recap - when landing, bringing the Esqual LS here to load it with
camping equipment, etc. I had a flat tire when I taxied up to the hangar. No
problem on landing or taxiing in, but as I climbed out I could tell one wing
was low. By the time I opened the hangar it was totally flat and I had to
air it up some to even pull it into the hangar. Soon went flat again.
Aired it up just to get the wheel pant off and put a jack under it to hold it
up. No nail or anything in the tire, just a hole in the side wall of the
tube. It is one of those leakguard tubes - Great for holding air, but I
have had two of them fail in the past 4 years. Prior to that, with the
regular tubes, no failures at all in the past 40 some years of general aviation
flying. Might be a story there. I love the leakguard tubes because once
you air them up - they hold the air, but two tube failures in 4 years might
show a trend.
Ordering a new tube, but they were closed, so want get the order until
next day and then with express shipping, it would not get here until maybe
noon on Saturday, and I need to be there Friday evening. So have about
decided to load up the truck and start driving south tomorrow afternoon. Bummer,
but at least I can take a larger tent and more supplies. But darn, I hate
driving to a fly-in.
See you there,
Buz

Buz:
It is my hope to fly 83TW, not sure of what day. Is there any way to get
ground control to park us near other Lightnings? Didn't know that if I made
a sign would help.
This is the first time that I wasn't coming in with 20-40 warbirds from the
South, so we were all parked in a line.
Sorry about your tire!
My Best,
Ray

Ray,
The special Sun N Fun arrival procedures start Sunday, so be sure to
read the NOTAM, as it is totally different from the warbird arrival.
Actually Lakeland ground has nothing to do with parking. The Sun N Fun volunteer
parkers in the experimental / homebuilt area actually do try to park
similar airplanes together, but all bets are off when they get busy, so it will
depend on when you arrive. But if you get a parking place you don't like
you might be able to move later if something better opens up. Obviously the
early arrivals get the better spots. Looking forward to seeing you there.
Remember the Lightning get together on Friday at 11 AM at the Lightning
booth.
Blue Skies,
Buz
