Hi all.
The corporate web site http://www.lightningusa.org/about.html is out of date, but in the process of being re-vamped. Its out of date because it is maintained by the American side of the group, which as you may be aware, have had rather more important things on their plate, having lost most of their wordly possesions and homes. The area of Bay St Louis was totally levelled, and is still only 50% recovered. Stennis Airport (where we are based) was hit quite badly, but our hangar is the only one rated to over 150mph winds, and survived just about unscathed, apart from damadged doors. The airport is now fully recovered.
For more recent updates, follow the supporters web site http://www.lightning422supporters.co.uk/
this one is maintained by our supporters President, so gets regular updates.
As for 422, she is still progressing at a steady pace, with the electricians currently re-installing the cockpit wiring as we speak. Engine installs are not too far away now, hopefully early next year.
hope this answers any questions, but ask away if not.

i seem to remember that the massive flooding they had down south caused damage at the airport, and came right up to the hangar doors. aren’t they still rebuilding new orleans?

I was looking at the site a few weeks ago and thinking the same thing Peter, surely someone must know the state of play?
