Hello to all the Lancair gang....

I have a  couple of comments to make about this years "little" (Ha!) get 
together  at Oshkosh. What a great event and wonderful turnout considering the  
soggy conditions earlier in the week. I was there all week and observed  the 
following....

#1.  I watched the entire episode of the Jack  Rousch "Beechcraft Premier Jet"  
accident. He is very lucky to be alive and in fact very  lucky he didn't crash 
into the crowd. I first noticed him much too tight  in the pattern while on left 
down wind for runway 18R.  At one point  while turning from base and 
overshooting the runway he was headed  directly at me and the crowd ... much too 
low and slow and out of  control! This was one of the poorest examples of 
piloting and judgment  that I have ever seen. I was shocked to later hear the  
name of the pilot/owner and the facts about his prior accidents, etc.  This is a 
classic example of why we as Lancair owners need to  continually stay vigilant 
and focused within our own group through  communication and training. Like they 
say in the New York subway system  ... "If you see something.... Say something" 
. Just because we build  these things or have tons of experience, doesn't mean 
that we should  necessarily be flying them. We shouldn't sit back and let these 
kind of  accidents happen, especially within our own group. If someone isn't  
qualified ... encourage them to get more education and training or fly  
something more docile. Jeff Edwards and the LOBO group have done a  wonderful 
job at promoting and making available the tools needed to  safely fly these 
wonderful aircraft. They have brought on board more  insurance options and our 
accident rate has dramatically decreased in  the last 12 months. Hopefully the 
insurance companies will also help  police the  incompetent Lancair pilots and 
not sell them insurance just to make a  buck. These responsibilities fall on all 
of us as owners and insurers  of  Lancairs ! Join LOBO and stay plugged in to 
the LML !!!

On  another topic .....

#2.  Prior to attending Oshkosh "2010", I  also attended Sun-n-Fun in April at 
Lakeland Florida with my 4P-Propjet.  On  both occasions I observed a disturbing 
disassociation from Lancair  International with its "4-P" line of aircraft. In 
fact, at both of their  displays a person would have to look twice even to see 
the Lancair  flags/logo over the "Evolution" promotion and advertisement. It 
appears  to me that the sales force of Lancair has forgotten what brought them 
to  the dance! With over six hundred 4-P's in the world you would think  that 
the 4's would be their flagship and showcased extensively ! It's no  wonder the 
4-P sales are down. Don't get me wrong... the Evolution is a  great plane but is 
in a  different class as a 1.2 million dollar finished turbine aircraft. If  you 
agree with me I urge you to lobby the "powers to be " at Lancair to  get the 
4-P's back in there promotional and advertising schemes.


Any  comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

Regards,

...  George

PS... Please note that I am the owner and builder  of two 4-P Turbines and one 
is for sale. You can see it at    www.lancairleasing.com
