REFLECTOR: Flight plan code for Veocity

[NMFlyer1 at aol.com]

Well Brian, there have been a ton. Of course a lot of RV's, and a fair number 
of Velocities and Lancairs. In my airspace, some of the smaller lighter 
aircraft can't get high enough for me to help out. 
The other day I talked to a guy that had a Whites Lightening. Said that he 
bought the rights and was hoping to have the kit back in production soon. I told 
him that that was one of the few 4 seaters that was available when I started 
my research, but there were rumors of problems in the company. He told me all 
the details. Looks like I picked a good stable company when I decided on the 
Velocity!!

I also talked to the guy that bought the lancair kit line in New Orleans. He 
was screaming along at about 270 over the ground. 

Overall, I'd say that builders have a higher percentage of competance than 
light certafied aircraft. Something about some old guy from Texas (No offence 
Brian, but you know the type) that just goes on and on and on... right when 
things are busy.  You don't now whether he will pass out from lack of inhaling.. 
or finish his shpeal first!!  

True story... one guy with a very heavy Texas accent was doing just that... 
taking up Lots of airtime.  Finally got the type aircraft, and asked him his 
route of flt... off he went again.. on and on and on.... 
Finally, the controller asked him " Sir... just where are you going.. that's 
all".... 
The 172 pilot responded.... " to see my mama"....
