Here's a few more pics. I can get you some baggage views, but probably of a
different Lightning as that one might be gone. I also forgot to get a pic
of the outside and inside of Duane Sorensons airplane. I also didn't get
one that I can find of Earl's airplane. Here's some pics of completed and
partly completed planes:
Pic # 1: This is a picture that I photoshopped and hung on the wall of the
FBO with all the info, the logo, the plane. I also did one of the Jabiru
aircraft in the terminal. The plane is 233AL which is the prototype
Pic # 2: This is not a Lightning at all, but in a way it was the first
prototype. This is the "Frankensqual" N424EA, which is an Esqual body with
an old 80hp Jabiru 4 cylinder on it and a much heavier, but same airfoil as
on the Lightning. Handling was a little tricky, but this plane would do
160mph all out! The lines are similar to the Lightning, but trust me the
Lightning is an all new design and they fly very differently.
Pic # 3: N430GH, the second lightning flying. This is Greg Hobb's machine.
He is the west coast distributor. This is what a soutwest style scheme
for the Lightning logo might look like. Gregg's from Tucson.
Pic #4: N396JC, this is Larry Joe Cooper's plane, it's wingless, but
looking really nice already! Kind of reminds me of Buz's paint scheme only
hunter green and silver instead of green and gold.
Pic #5: N5622GH, This is Rick Bowen's plane, another favorite paint scheme
of mine. Should be flying in February timeframe
Pic #6: N59JL, This is Linda Mathia's airplane. Kind of a similar paint
scheme to the prototype. I met Linda today, nice lady, pretty impressive
cockpit layout.
Pic #7: Finally, N31BZ, this is Buz's hybrid Esqual with many Lightning
enhancements. He already posted panel pics, but this is the plane. Love
the paint scheme.

Thanks Brian for posting all the pics. I'm getting really excited! I spoke
with Ryan today, (Green Landings), and will be going back down there in a
couple of weeks to try out his aircraft.
That just might seal the deal for me!

Allright, Brian...now Pete owes you something because you are doing his marketing for him! Thanks for the photo's. I look forward to more detail shots when you get the time.

Dan,
Sure thing. Any other shots that the list would be interested in seeing
more detail of. Usually I see them wrapped up as I've never built a plane
myself, but I do have access and can probably update quicker than Pete and
his group (they really are extremely busy and there are a lot more people
working there now than just a year ago, but that's a good sign) and reach
the folks that are really interested better by posting them here. Brian W.

Brian,
Thanks for all the photos. It keeps the drool factor up real high.
