EAA Chapter #1073, Truckee-Tahoe, California, cordially invites all
members of the Lancair Mail List to attend our 3rd Annual Fly-In. The
Fly-In takes place at the Truckee-Tahoe Airport (KTRK) during the Reno
Air Races. A short 45-minute drive from the Air Races venue, the Fly-In
provides a “home base” for Air Race fans. The Reno Air Races will be
held September 12-15, 2002. The official dates of the Chapter #1073
Fly-In are September 13 and 14th. The airport has agreed to waive the
Friday through Sunday (13th through 15th) tie-down fees if you register
at the EAA Chapter House upon arrival.
The Chapter has reserved a block of rooms with a 30% discount at the
Truckee-Tahoe Best Western Hotel located 1 mile from the airport. These
are non-smoking rooms with two Queen beds. Book early as these rooms
will go quickly. Guests that have reserved a room prior to Thursday,
August 1st, will have until 4:00 p.m. of the day of arrival to cancel
their reservation. Guests should refer to the "Truckee Fly-In" or
reservation #RX0000 to receive the reduced group rate. Call

We are hoping for a good turnout of Lancairs this year, at least equal
to the number of canards that usually show up. Thank you.
