It had been snowing in Lancair town for may hours and the runways had about 2 to 3 inch of packed snow with small blotches of dark pavement showing on the centerline. Braking action was described as fair. Needless to say advancing the throttle SLOWLY was in order. At that point takeoff came quickly and with no directional problems. Hardest part was taxing out from Redmond Air's tarmac which had 4" of snow. Now comes the fun part. 2800fpm to FL 270 with tops at 20k. ATC gives heading as filed which is direct SQL and then to see 317kts true at ISA +3deg C and 650ITT and 31gph. Wow, home in 1hr and 15min. What a great plane from Lancair.
