This is a reminder notice for the
3rd Annual Lancair gathering in Medford, Oregon
(KMFR).
Saturday, August
16 is the date.
We will again host flyers, builders and
friends at Medford Air Service, which is the nicest, FBO on the
field. http://www.medfordairservice.com/. They are
finishing their substantial expansion to the facility which
includes a large two-story "art deco" design addition.
Breakfast will be provided by us local Lancair people and will
include fruit, breads, pastries and drinks. Lunch will be served
from the menu from a look-a-like San Francisco street car which has
been converted to an outdoor restaurant ("Aerodiner") located at the
FBO.
Because of late morning
marine layer issues at some coastal departure airports (California and Oregon),
as well as the afternoon temperature in August in Southern Oregon, some
flyers may choose to stay the night and depart in the cool Sunday AM
weather. Hotel discounts via the FBO (Medford Air) are available
at nearby Rogue Regency with transportation to and from the hotel (about a
mile). They have a full service restaurant. There is a Marriott
Courtyard Hotel and a Sheraton Candlewood Suites at the airport within walking
distance from the FBO.
FBO truck fuel is available,
or taxi to the self service fuel at Jet Center north (FBO). Current
self service fuel is $5.19/gal.
Now... All we need is for the
forest fire smoke to return to its Northern California origin. Please
check enroute TFR's as there are significant forest fires still burning from
June lightning storms in Northern California.
