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.

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. Lynn In a message dated 10/3/2010 5:16:36 P.M.

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.
