The fly-in went well.  Two IVP's arrived Friday afternoon and were hangered for the night.  Saturday morning the weather was optimum with clear calm skies and a temperature of about 65 degrees for the first arrivals at 8:20 AM.  Planes arrived throughout the morning with the last arrivals at about 11 AM.  Pilots reported smooth cool air.  The afternoon temperature was about 88 degrees.  

 

The fly-in included 15 planes with 6 models (235/320, 320, 360, Legacy, ES, IVP) in attendance.  There was several builders driving in.  We had a lot of locals taking interest in the rows of lancairs lined up.  It was an impressive site.  

 

Long distance awards go to:

 

     1. Jim Hergert (IVP) Sedona, Arizona, 687 NM

     2. Don Karich (Legacy) Santa Ana, California 573 NM 

     3. Pat & Susan Brunner (IVP) Corona, California 566 NM

 

Thanks much to those three for there interest in the MFR Fly-in.  

 

Everyone filled up with breakfast (pastries and fruit were the most popular) with the AeroDiner providing lunch.  Boxes of Animal Crackers and Cracker Jacks were also popular items.

 

In the early afternoon pilots began departing to the north and south with a IVP staying over for the weekend.  The only change we have planned for next year is a shorter vehicle/taxiway stop sign, as it didn't clear a wingtip.  

 

Thanks to all that attended.  I look forward to the next Lancair Fly-in wherever it may be.  I have attached a few pics of the day.
