I was at the Madison County Executive Airport yesterday (that's the Madison
County in Alabama, home to Marshall Space Flight Center) and I got to see them start up and fly away in the Lionheart. I lived there when it was built and I remember them flying around the airfield for hours getting enough time logged to be allowed to fly to Oskosh for the airshow. It was unpainted then. It's a beautiful yellow now. |

The gear seems unnecessarily long. Not needed that long to clear the
prop, or at least the one seen installed. Is it to allow for higher-angle departures? Or was the gear originally designed for sonething else and it is what it is? P. On Mon, 18 Dec 2006 20:58:14 -0600, "Tom Callahan" wrote: |
