Jim,

     We looked for you yesterday;  sorry you didn't make it.  Your plane is very nice!   We had a  good show of planes and people on Saturday with perfect weather; hope today  brings more of the same.

Thanks Linda, I had really hoped to come, but it is a long drive and I needed to take care of my granddaughter today.  The guy that was going to fly down for the day decided to stay for two and I couldn’t do that.  

   

Have a great time!

Several on the Lightning group have asked about the Virginia Festival of  Flight (Regional fly-in) this past weekend at Suffolk Airport.  My  impression is that overall it was a great event.  Weather was good both  days, and the turn out on Saturday was outstanding both in terms of airplanes  and drive ins.  Sunday was good weather, but the total aircraft that flew  in that day were much less than Saturday.  We had both the Tennessee  factory and the Green Landings teams attending.  Nick in the new ASTM  certified LS-1, Pete in a brand new Jabiru 230, and Ryan and his dad in Jim  Langley's EAB Lightning arrived late Friday evening due to en-route  weather.  "Professor" Doug K-berg drove the crew car down and helped man  the booth.  Quite a few people stopped by their display area to get a look  at these three beautiful aircraft.  Most that stopped in were familiar with  the Lightning, but were actually seeing one for the first time.  All  were impressed with the overall looks and workmanship of the airplanes.   

     

 Other Lightning owners, Linda and Joe Mathias, Gary Winkler, and  Charlie Keith were there as well.  Gary flew his new jet up from NC  and it was on display just across a temporary taxiway from the factory display  area.  Linda and Joe drove in both days as they are just completing an  annual on their Lighting and both of them were very busy volunteers for the  fly-in.  Linda worked many hours in the youth tent and Joe and I kept busy  judging aircraft.  Charlie's Lightning is still at Green Landings, but  he will be bringing it home to Virginia soon.  I have quite a few Lightning  photos that I made at the event and I will put some of those in the July issue  of the Lightning newsletter.  

  

 Next Saturday (6 June) is an open house at Green Landings (WV22  is the identifier, but it is not in my GPS data base), so fly or drive over to  West Virginia and see what goes on there.  Then later in June (17 to  20) is Sentimental Journey at Lock Haven, PA.  This is the annual Piper  Cubs returning to the old factory and is one of the best "grass roots" fly-ins  that I have been to.  I will be leading a flight of Cubs up there (Joe and  LInda and another friend from Williamsburg) and Doug K-berg may join us.   If you have the time, fly to KLHV for that event.  It doesn't matter what  you fly there, you are part of the fly-in and are welcome for all the  events.  Other than that, now is the time to start planning for  Oshkosh.  We hope that several builders will have their Lightnings on  display and that we will have a good turn out for the Lightning forum and get  together.  Be there, aloha!

  

 Blue Skies,

 Buz

 Thank you for recognizing my tenure even it there is that ongoing dispute  with the Absorbine Junior College.

  

 AJC is an old and somewhat aeromatic institution with a strong  pharmiceutical background....including an appreciation for  external Methanol/Ethanol consumption by both students and faculty  alike.

  

 Quite helpful these days.   It is too bad they cannot overlook a  few elderly indescretions.

  

 Dr Doug

Here's a couple of pics that I snagged off www.virginiaflyin.org.

  

 I guess Pete was there, and the other pictures shows the Professor and Ryan at their booth.

  

 Jim!
