Hey Earl,
Glad to hear all went well with the hip replacement. Does it weight more than the original? You know you have to watch that gross weight for your next world recored.
It had slipped my mind that you had the hip replacement scheduled. I do wish you had taken that camera. You and your nurse would have made a great centerfold for the newsletter.  So get well soon, and get Echo Foxtrot back in the air. I look forward to seeing you at Sun-N-Fun. Also, I like your idea about you leading a tour through the Carib. Who else but an ex-navy pilot would know where all the nude beaches are. DO NOT FORGET YOUR CAMERA.

Buz,

I think I picked up about 5 lbs with the new titanium hip, But I'm looking forward to some of the new Lightning owners to carry on the record tradition. After all, Nick & Co have been getting the empty weight down on the new birds. If we can just get one down under the 1102 lb TO weight WITH the gear clean up, that would be a world beater. Now with the new Turbo Jab 2200 and its 120+ Hp and 4.0 gph at 16,500 and 140K just think of what we could do!! We haven't scratched the surface yet.

Sorry to disappoint you about having recced all the nude beaches. I got that info from the Bahamas and Caribbean Pilot's Guide. A necessary document for anybody planning a flight between Florida and South America. A Lightning  group trip through the area would be very interesting. You can get anywhere with less than 100 statute miles over water, and our short field capability makes almost every island accessible. Yes, I have dreamed about and planned a trip like this before, and even done part of it. And I have been to many of the islands, either by ship or airplane. Some are pretty, some are drab but all are interesting.

Is there any interest out there???

  What was the guys name that was an old Air Force pilot that was building around the same time as you?  I had some cockpit pictures that I posted of his plane C which was an Esqual and not a Lightning C but a similar size and therefore should fit into a Lightning cockpit.  He had the Blue Mountain EFIS.  It was about a foot diagonal viewing area or so.  If memory serves it is built in TN C but is fairly costly.  Brian W.

   Many of them are old AF/Navy/Marine Corp etc.  I'm a young 'en though.  I'll be 28 next Thursday.  I'm just lucky enough to be friends will all the retired military guys!  Never-the-less C it's gotta say something for all these old military pilot types to like the Lightning.  The only question is whether it was a comment (it was meant as one) or not.  Example.  If you ever build a plane at SYI or if you stop by there sometime C be sure to introduce yourself to the airport manager C Hank Williamson.  The crew there is first rate.  You won't find cheaper fuel anywhere in Middle TN and they'd literally give you the shirt off their backs.  Anyhow C Hank is an old AF Pilot (I won't say "former" as these guys still have it in them)  So C in talking with Hank about his airplanes one day I asked why his Cherokee doesn't have an interior in the floorboard.  He made a comment something to the effect that "all that pretty crap didn't do anything C so why's it there?" I didn't have a good answer and he explained C just adds wait C gets dirty C etc.  Luckily the Lightning has usually been fitted out with nice interior C but the story was meant to be entertaining.  Brian W.
