Craig,

It's an AW Lightning owned by Barry. It's a fairly old model as I remember Todd & I working on one of the Merlin 160s at FJ years ago, but can't quite remember the exact year.

It has two of the newer (small can) K-160s, and Barry did a maiden flight at a local field on Wed before flying at FJ. I do know Barry flew it at least once; and I also saw Ali fly it. It most certainly is an unusual airplane and this is the only one I have ever seen.
