All,
Looking at the calendar I just realized the Second Annual Lightning Fly-In is just two weeks away. Many of you have probably already finalized plans to be there for this outstanding get together - and that's great. But for those of you that have not made up your minds to attend, let me encourage you to do so.
For any Lightning enthusiast or someone contemplating building a Lightning in the future there is no better way to gather factual information, talk to current builders and flyers, and of course hear the word straight form the "horse's mouth" - that would be Arion, the horse from Greek mythology. Top that off with demonstration rides in the new 2008 Lightning Demonstrator, briefings by Lightning builders and pilots, and other fun events that the SYI guys have planned and you will have a wonderful trip. And don't forget the great Tennessee BBQ and pork chops.
Also, I encourage you to bring your spouse. Building an airplane turns into a family accomplishment and hopefully your spouse is just as enthusiastic as you are.
One last thing - we are hoping to get an update briefing on the latest Lightning Skunk Works experiments. As was mentioned in the last newsletter, Arion has been doing some testing with the new Olympic Speedo swimsuit material with Mark as the test pilot. With the "proper encouragement" (lots of beer) perhaps Mark will do a "fly-by" wearing his speedo. Can you picture that? Get your cameras ready, it may be a "fast pass". Yep, faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive - it's a bird, it's a plane, no it's Mark in his speedo. Hey, Lightning dealers, how about you guys (Tom, AL, Greg, Ryan, Doug, and Dennis) all "suiting up" in your own speedos for a formation "fly-by"? Now that's entertainment - Not.
Blue Skies,
Buz

HI Buzz, I not sure about modelling the Speedo suit not really cut out for that one ,but I hope all of you guys have a great time at the annual Lightning Fly In ,wish I could be there to join you but unfortunately its a bit to far away.
Builder assist Lightning No 58 had its inspection today ,so we are just waiting for the paperwork to come back & the owner Peter Mitchell can get air bourne.
Best Regards, Dennis LIGHTNING AIRCRAFT AUSTRALIA.

Hi Dennis,
After reading this post I was wondering when an Aussie Lightning Fly In might be feasible? How many Lightnings are flying in Oz so far and how many are likely to be flying within the next 12 months?
I would be keen to fly the motorglider across to South Australia just to see several examples of Lightnings and to talk to owners as I'm sure there would be many others equally keen to do so.
