The rumor of relocation to Texas has been circulating for over a year. Lancair (and Columbia) are in the Bend area only because Lance was there. Plants move to reduce costs (tax abatements etc.), tap a labor base, or entice customers. I think the high desert and the people in Redmond are great, but if the gang could build a stronger company in Texas then that's where they should go, and that is where I'll go for pieces-parts that I need and the occassional fly-in. On the other hand I'll have work done on my plane where the talented and experienced builder support people are located and for me that is still Redmond. Chances are that's where they will remain so I'll still be making that trip to the left coast.=20 Robert M. Simon ES-P N301ES
