I made a short cross country flight from Lansing to Mentone today. About 70 nautical miles each way. When I landed Glenn Bundy and a helper were painting the tower with red and white squares so it should look first rate for the convention.
On the way back I stopped at Michigan City near the lake only to find I had just missed their annual pancake breakfast by about 1 hour. I was going to fly the lake front back but there was a TFR for the Gary Airshow. I flew along the lake until near the TFR then detoured south. I could see lots of smoke where the aerobatic planes were flying.
To make sure I would not have any conflicts I dropped down to about 500 feet AGL. About 5 minutes later I was passed by two jets (F-18's I think) about 5 miles away and my same altitude-- They were bookin fast
Xenon is just more fun every flight.
Being in Illinois has been a big success for us as we have given about 20 demo flights and sold several machines.
Hope to see a bunch of you at Oshkosh or Mentone.:peace:
