Paul Baribault and John Abraham (Chief Pilot) (both from Velocity, Inc.) are
at AOPA this weekend in Hartford, Connecticut.
They flew Dr. Richard Gwinn's Velocity XL-RG (on loan to Velocity) to the
program - flight time from Sebastian, FL to Hartford ...about 6-hours:
30-minutes - about one-third of the time in IMC and rain. At one point they
were recording 228KTAS ground speed - pretty impressive for 260 hp!
If you are planning to attend AOPA this weekend, be sure to take the shuttle
bus from the convention center to the static aircraft display area at
Brainard Airport and say "Hello"!
I'm trying to convince Paul and John to bring back some lobster, but they
are being difficult (something about golf clubs taking up all available
space and weight).
