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).
