The entire Lightning and Jabiru crew went out of their way to plan a fun and informative event and to insure everyone had a great time. Their hospitality was outstanding as always. Friday evening burgers and brats in the hangar with the annual creeper races made for an entertaining evening. Saturday's fly out to breakfast and then the Lightning round robin races and flight planning and navigation event went well, as did the informative briefings by Pete and Nick on he Lightning and Jabiru engine. Saturday evening we once again all went to the Bell Buckle Cafe for great food and socializing. Unfortunately I forgot to take my camera, so hopefully others that were there will share their pictures and provide a list of the race and other event plaque winners. It was truly a fun time. I'm everyone that was in attendance will join me in saying thanks to the Lightning and Jabiru crew for a great weekend. Blue Skies, Buz PS: As an update on Joe Mathias, I just talked to Linda this morning and Joe is still doing OK, still in the nursing home and working on his daily physical therapy. So please continue to keep Joe and Linda in your thoughts and prayers. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 04:38:18 PM PST US Subject: Re: Lightning-List: Lightning fly-in From: Lynn Yes Buz: Thank you very much for all the work that you put in to make the event a success Lynn N1BZRich@AOL.COM wrote: >Once again I really enjoyed the yearly Lightning fly-in and homecoming this > past weekend in Shelbyville.

Everything went as planned with no abnormal flight characteristics and smooth running engine. Thanks to Ryan, Walter, Chris, Curt, Doug and Buddy for all their help and advice when needed.

I know you will enjoy your Lightning, and being a two time offender (builder), you certainly know how to pick good airplanes. Blue Skies, Buz Rich In a message dated 10/3/2011 7:41:13 P.M.
