I had a discussion with a couple Lancair employees in the Lancair
tent at SNF. The intent was to attract more East coast and Midwest
Lancairs to the fly-in. And my guess is the later date is to help with
weather, both getting there and during the fly-in. I also had a West coast
trip planned around Labor Day that's going to change now.
Based on the news article from Fredericksburg, this could be the new home
of Lancair by October. This is a good move for Lancair. If you've
been to the factory lately, you know how crowded they are. I'm concerned
for all the businesses that are clustered around Redmond and Bend that feed off
of the Lancair factory. I'm sure some of them are scratching their heads
wondering what to do.
Maybe all this scuttlebutt will trigger an official statement from
Lancair.
