Lakeway has an unkind rep, but I don't have first hand information
about it. I think the issue has everything to do with operating near
sun rise and sun set. Just verify things before you go.

Where are you headed in Texas Jay. Your route might take you near me and
I'd love to see the plane and of course meet you.

The overall plan is to go from the factory in Eastman, Georgia to
Mooresville, NC (Lake Norman Airport, 14A) to Austin (Lakeway, 3R9) to Iowa
City (hi, Jay!) to Fairmont. I'm thinking of either flying the airplane from
Lake Norman to New York, then on to Texas from there, or else leaving it at
Lake Norman and flying commercial from Charlotte to NYC and back.

I've got family and friends around Brenham, College Station, and Austin who
get a look. Depending on how things shake out, I may well wind up leaving
the airplane in Texas and flying commercial to Sioux Falls, SD over the
weekend of the 7th, then returning to take it the rest of the way home.

Which end of Texas are you in?
