"…I’m going to stray North of direct route to dodge some WX in OK." Source: Part of a text from Spirit SE-1 Boss, Steve Wood, describing his strategy for flying all the way from Grand Junction, CO, over the mountains and trying to avoid a lot of forecast weather enroute. Steve is due to arrive in Lakeland, for SUN n FUN 2026 in the next couple of days, where a LOT of people have been awaiting a chance to see this highly-touted design. Steve has also been invited to be a part of the MOSAIC Day event this Thursday, in the LightPlane area’s forum tent… which will be broadcast live, starting at 1000ET.
