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.

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.
