Yes Buz another great Lightning Fly-in. It's always great when you can tal
k to other builders face-to-face and see what they may have done a little d
ifferently then you and perhaps take away a thought for a mod to your own p
lane.
Seeing old friends is great and meeting new ones is always a pleasure.
The hospitality is always 1st class from Arion and Jabiru team and this yea
r was no different. The whole team there does a superb job of organizing t
his event.
Also want to thank you for your efforts on build the plaques and setting up
and monitoring the air races as well as the creeper races.
It's pretty cool to see 6 or so Lightnings take off at once.
And when you'r # 5 in a organized gaggle landing for breakfast it's a prett
y cool site.
Made it back home safely yesterday. 4 hours non-stop to Tampa Bay. 5500
' smooth air and you could see forever....
Already looking forward to next year's event.
fly safely,
Bear

Once again I really enjoyed the yearly Lightning fly-in and homecoming this
past weekend in Shelbyville. The entire Lightning and Jabiru crew went ou
t of their way to plan a fun and informative event and to insure everyone h
ad a great time. Their hospitality was outstanding as always. Friday even
ing 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 Ligh
tning round robin races and flight planning and navigation event went well,
as did the informative briefings by Pete and Nick on he Lightning and Jabi
ru 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 the
re 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 Li
ghtning 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 J
oe is still doing OK, still in the nursing home and working on his daily ph
ysical therapy. So please continue to keep Joe and Linda in your thoughts
and prayers.
