Gang,

 

I was there in Salina today and got to watch the whole thing with my 5 year old son.  We flew my Lancair 320 from Fort Collins, CO (FNL), to SLN and were the last airplane that got to land before the airport was shut down.  This little Lancair of mine has only been flying for 1 1/2 years and it has provided for so many great memories for me and my family.  It was worth every minute of building during the 6 years and now is an absolute joy.

 

The festivities in Salina were fantastic.  The locals were incredibly friendly – they even had big trucks set up serving free pizza, ice cream bars and bottled water.  I saw one Lancair Columbia 350 but no other Lancairs :(  Oh well, I guess I wasn’t there to see Lancairs, anyway :)

 

A hearty congratulations to Steve Fossett and team!!!
