This is the second notice for the
3rd Annual Lancair gathering this summer in Medford, Oregon
(MFR).
Saturday, August
16 is the date. It should be doable for all as it is 2
weeks after Air Venture, and a week after the Hillsboro Airshow. The
16th is (I think) free of other aviation functions. So set aside
the date.
We will again host the flyers
and builders at the nicest FBO on the field, Medford Air (the same FBO
as last year - they have expanded again) . Breakfast and
lunch are planned to accommodate all flyers and builders regardless when
they arrive and depart. The Medford tower (class D airspace) is Lancair
friendly.
Because of late morning marine layer
issues at some coastal departure airports (California and Oregon), as well as
the afternoon temperature in August in Southern Oregon, some flyers may
choose to stay the night and depart in the cool Sunday AM weather. Hotel
discounts (via Medford Air) are available at nearby Rogue Regency with
transportation to and from the hotel. They have a full service
restaurant. There are also two hotels within walking distance of
the FBO (recommend Marriott Courtyard). Truck fuel as well as self service
fuel is available.
Now... All we need is for the forest
fire smoke to return to its Northern California origin.
More details to
follow.
