Janice and I had a wonderful time at Lancair's Fredericksburg Fly-in last weekend.  This was our fifth annual Lancair fly-in, but the first time we could fly to it!  We stayed at the Hangar Hotel, which is on the flight line and next to the hangar where lunch and dinner were served.  A handful of Lancair employees, lead by Kimbra, worked constantly to make it a success.  There were forty or so Lancairs.  I could be wrong, but it seemed like more four-seaters and fewer two-seater models flew in than in past years.
 
The food and beer were great (and free!), the fellowship with other Lancerians was fun, and the facilities were terrific.  Thanks, Lancair!  I particularly enjoyed making so many new friends,  although I missed the west coast "regulars" who didn't make this one.
 
We flew there from northern California Friday morning and were in IMC for an hour or two after crossing into Nevada, but it was a smooth ride all the way.  Departing Fredericksburg Sunday morning required finding a hole in the low overcast hanging over the airport, but once I got above that, it was severe clear all the way home. 
 
Best,
Dennis
