Jeff.. he is based there.. I believe his hanger is the first one on the east
end of the row facing the Runway 7/12 intersection. That Lancair is the one
that was rebuilt with the turbine and was featured in the magazine, either
Sport Pilot or KitBuild.. don't remember which.

I believe that this is the same Lancair that had a water cooled auto engine
in it prior to conversion.

Yes.. I'd like to have a Turbine Lancair also..

Here at the VGT airport there is a lanceair that has a turbo prop.

I saw this guy take off today and it was impressive!
He climbed almost verticle, first time I seen a plane, outside of a
airforce jet, do that, then when he leveled off, tell you what, that is
a seriously fast planes.

That's correct.

Great discoveries are not announced with "Eureka!". What's usually said is
"Hummmmm... That's interesting...."

BTIZ, have you ever saw that thing take off. Its unbelieveable.
that guy has a fast airplane.

I saw it sitting in his hanger when I taxied by, it catches your attention to
see that prop on the front of a lanceair, but to watch him take off. Its an
impressive plane.
