Sunlight shining onto the radio stack. I think it has the skylights, roof glass that the Aerobat used. I haven't asked Fred about that. When I see it I will find out. I concur, that's exactly what you're seeing. It's very evident just above the carb heat handle. You can barely see them if you zoom in on this photo [ airport-data.com] I found in Airport-Data.com. Brian, confirmed! You have good eyes. Geoff Also, if you look at image 5, you can see what appears to be sunlight shining diagonally through the two skylights, out the pilot side window, and illuminating two patches of ground in the wing shadow. And in picture 7, in the rear-view mirror above the photographer's shoulder you can see the seat-belt tray above the door is bathed in sunlight. At least, I can't explain that light pattern without having skylights.

That's the best indication. Kirk is good at photo analysis. In the Miata forum, we used to play a game of "Where was this photo taken?". One guy was a former US Military Intelligence Officer, he was amazing at spotting little clues in the photo to come up with the correct answer, even when GPS location info had been removed from the photos. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 35,523 Likes: 554 DA POOBS Member with 30,000+ posts!! | | DA POOBS Member with 30,000+ posts!!

I’m feeling good about it. Didi knows I’m trying to upgrade and has not complained . | | 1 member likes this:

I think a 150/150 is great. Molly flies at between 80 and 90 knots, depending on air density. Seeing Uncle Eddie say Woodstock flies at 110 knots blows me away. That is faster than the C-172 we used to have! Keep us posted on the details. It is exciting that you are buying a new airplane  . | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 35,523 Likes: 554 DA POOBS Member with 30,000+ posts!! | | DA POOBS Member with 30,000+ posts!!

Keep in mind FAC (and others...) has a dark nose wheel, and it's in the wrong position. That said, FAC's 150/150 SCREAMS!!!!! 150/150's rock the house.

I'll second that.  If this transaction stays the course, Geoff is in for some mighty good times.........fun ones, too.  I sure hope we can all hook up at Beaumont or some other place in the area so I can look this gal over as I selfishly don't want to wait until Clinton to see this big nose.....exciting times are on the horizon for sure.
