| Subject: | Fun time by everyone at the Lightning fly-in |
I just wanted to say how much fun we all had at this years Lightning fly-in
and homecoming. Everyone attending seemed to enjoy the event and the
Tennessee Lightning crew were fantastic hosts. We had great weather in
Tennessee, a good turn out of airplanes and people, a fun flight of Lightnings
and Esquals to the Saturday morning breakfast in Winchester, some great
creeper races Friday night, and really interesting round robin cross country
races for the Lightnings. As usual, the Saturday evening Bell Buckle dinner
was well attended and provided good eats and lots of laughs. It is always
great to see all our Lightning friends and of course make many new ones.
I hope everyone's flight home was uneventful. I made it back to
Williamsburg in about 3+40, the first three hours VFR on top at 13,500 (with
oxygen), but when I had to descend underneath, I again (like the trip out) ended
up in the rain with a really bouncy head wind. Sure was good to get on the
ground after 30 minutes of bouncing around.
How about everyone sending a short message directly to me about your
flights to Tennessee and then on your return flights home. I think it would be
interesting reading for the newsletter.
Blue Skies,
Buz

Hey Buz: I made it home safely in 4 + 15 and only fell asleep once (I lost
the miles from 94 to 45 remaining)
It was a tough flight coming to Shelbyville on Friday against those 40
kt winds. I knew when I saw ground speeds in the double digits that it was
going to be a long morning. I vacillated between 4500 and 6500 and finally
ended up at 5500 (wrong altitude for the direction) in order to avoid as
much of the rough air and get a decent ground speed. I ended up averaging
about 120 mph. Fortunately for me the winds were about 30 degrees right of my
course.
I agree we had a great time, the Arion folks were all terrific (even
you deserve a pat on the back or two). I feel certain we sold at least two
more airplanes, however, they will not be starting for about a year.

Hi Buz
I just pulled in; VFR all the way - but very low level - 10 + 30 hours to
Clearwater --- I did manage to keep it between the white lines. Great to
meet alot of new folks. It was nice to see folks from neaqrly all over
the us....Kansas, Mississippi, Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, New Hampshir
e, Virginia, Florida, Tennessee to name a few...
Although handicapped without my "jet" being there, Thanks to you, Carl and
others, I was able to participate in the breakfast Fly-in and the Round
robin x-country Race...
I guess now that I beat Earl in the creeper races, I'll have to give him
additional seconds next year...especially since I beat him blindfolded...
It was, as you said, another great Lightning get together and my hat off
to all the Jabiru and Lightning Staff...for their hospitality and friends
hip.
Already looking forward to next year's.
Bear
