We are very excited about the level of attendance at our fly-in as well as the outstanding sponsorship we have received. We’re really looking forward to October at Taney County Airport and Branson, Mo. We need your cooperation for a number of things listed below. The success of this fly-in is dependent on you as well as us.
1. If you have not made your hotel reservations yet – do so now. The Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing is sold out of our block of rooms. The Hilton Convention Center, across the street, has a few rooms left at our special rate. Once these are booked, then please make hotel reservations wherever you can. Let us know where you are staying and a cell phone contact in case we can re-book a cancelled room. We are not able to obtain anymore rooms at either Hilton. Please Understand that if you must cancel your Hilton reservations at either hotel, NOTIFY BOTH LISA AND CLAUDETTE IMMEDIATELY. When we commit to a block of rooms, we sign commitments the hotels will have that level of revenue from us. If you don’t attend, and your room goes unoccupied by a Lancair person, we still have to pay for it. If you let us know you have to cancel, we can re-book one of your fellow Lancair friends into your room.
2. If you have not paid your registration fee to Lisa at Lancair, please do so now.
3. Let us know if you are flying in and what aircraft type including “N” number. We have to let the airport know how many planes to expect. Let us know also if you are driving or flying commercially.
4. Notify Lisa if you want a rental car if you have not already done so. We will have a shuttle van. Both Hiltons charges $8.00 per day for self-park or $12.00 per day for valet parking. There is free parking at the convention center or at the end of the mall about a block away.
5. Bring your own tie-downs and anchors. There are about 33 hard surface tie downs at the airport. There is ample concrete ramp space but without tie downs. Be prepared to tie down in grass or gravel areas.
6. Please tell your wives/female companions they must make a reservation no later than September 23 for the Chico’s Breakfast/Style Show with Claudette at colwells@comcast.net. They need a count for breakfast. Attendance is limited so latecomers may be unable to attend.
Thank you for attending and for your cooperation with the above.
Claudette and Lisa
