We need lots of Lightnings in homebuilt parking. Heck, there are already at least two RV-12s. Blue skies, Buz In a message dated 4/12/2010 8:45:04 A.M.

Tomorrow is the opening day for Sun N Fun, and if I had to guess, I would say the total number of aircraft is down somewhat from the last few years. That is certainly the case in Vintage parking and homebuilt parking. Haven't really looked at the general aircraft parking areas. The Lightning and Jabiru booths are all set up and I must say that the three Lightnings now here are outstanding examples of EAB Lightnings and the LS-1. In the main display Lightning booth is Jim Johannes' and Greg Crouchley's EAB Lightnings, and in the Light Sport Mall is Ed Ryan's LS-1. Up until this morning I had only seen photos of all three of these aircraft and I must say that the photos did not do justice to these three beautiful airplanes. All are outstanding examples of the Lightning. So a big salute to Jim, Greg, Ed, and to the Tennessee bunch and the Green Landings gang for their outstanding workmanship. Also ran into Bill Strahan and his GPS partner, Walt, in exhibit building E. They are here with their iFly 700 GPS that was featured in the April Lightning Newsletter. Be sure to drop by their booth to say hello. For those not thoroughly familiar with the Sun N Fun layout, there are four exhibit buildings in a row (A-D). Exhibit building E is further north through the trees towards the drive in camping area. That building used to be the parts mart some years ago. And by the way, Greg Crouchley was apparently their first official Sun N Fun customer, as he has bought one of their GPS units and the show has not started yet. Super. If you are here tomorrow, don't forget the Lightning forum at 1300 in forum tent 11. Be there to cheer on Nick and Mark as they tap dance their way into the hearts and minds of the sun n fun crowd.

Like Buz said you mileage may vary.... Big logistics issue for me flying there...hangar door is locked in the dow n position. Looks like a lightning hit to the wiring. No hand crank avail able and it's a BIG door...Probably Thursday before it can be fixed. Also got a cnx from my buddy who is my ride form the grounds to the hotel. So If I can get the hangar door up and fly over, I still can't get back and forth to the hotel (12 miles away...). so it looks more like a 4 wheeler than a 3....
