I have been to everyone of the Redmond Fly-ins since Lancair moved to =
Redmond in the early '90's.  Typically, arrivals are on Friday all day =
and Saturday morning (best flying is in the AM before the PM thermals =
set in).  Some of the fly-ins over the years have had over 70 Lancairs =
in attendance.  The lowest count I remember was 14 (less than fun flying =
weather that year with icing conditions, etc.)

Flyers, builders, buyers, deposit holders all drive in or fly-in in =
Lancairs and other aircraft types from all over the U.S..  The =
non-Lancair fly-in aircraft park away from the factory site.  So, in the =
factory parking area and adjacent parking areas, it is row after row of =
strictly Lancairs.

Saturday is the big day, with the factory 'open house' type of =
arrangement.  There are some vendors, with small demonstrations, the =
avionics shop is open with working panels to demo and others under =
construction.  The builders assist area is open for viewing.  Kit =
Components is open for parts and accessory pickup (one year I saw a =
complete Legacy kit, after the builders assist week, loaded on a trailer =
and depart for its new home).  Demo flights for buyers occurs all day. =20

In the afternoon, there is a big BBQ under the big Lancair tent and in =
the main hanger with lots of good food, beer, wine, soda pop, water, =
etc.

There is a golf tournament and a trip to nearby Sisters (lots of =
specialty shops) for those interested.

On Sunday morning there is a race of about 80 to 100 miles (Redmond, =
Prineville, Madras, Sisters, Redmond - sometimes in reverse). The race =
finish is overhead of the factory, so clean the bottom of your plane.

Attendance is about 300 to 400.

Plenty of motel/hotels available, none within short walking distance, =
but shuttle vans run all day.  No one has ever camped under the wing =
that I know of, as it is all asphalt paved with adjacent trees for =
shade.

Daytime temperatures are in the 70's or 80's with nights in the 40's or =
50's.  Plenty of shade available under the big tent or indoors.  And =
real restrooms instead of plastic outhouses!

The towered airport (RDM) is 3077' with two - 7000' runways.  And the =
tower controllers are friendly.  The terminal building has a restaurant.

The main hall corridor in the building has hundreds of framed 8X10 =
photographs of completed Lancairs.  Bring your favorite 8x10 of your =
finished plane (Lancair of course) if it isn't already on the wall.=20

I probably left a lot out about the event.  Like Marv said, it is the =
largest gathering of Lancairs you will ever see.

I will be there as usual, so please don't take my favorite parking spot.
