Lancairs Flock To The Desert
This is THE event for folks who like to travel in fast company.
It promises to be an
interesting weekend in Scottsdale, AZ, late next month, as the
Lancair Owners and Pilots Association stages a fly-in at Scottsdale
Airport.
Fly-In organizers promise Spring in Scottsdale is fabulous
(we've been there and we agree) -- it boasts average temperatures
in the 60s and almost always clear skies). Combine that with the
presentations planned (Walter Atkinson and George Braly from
Advanced Pilot Seminars, Chief Pilot Scott Marti and National Sales
Director Mike Schrader from The Lancair Company, plus their own J.
Robert Moss and Steve Demy) and the LOPA fly-in looks like it'll be
both fun and informative.
For spouses and guests who don't thrive on discussing the
intricate details of engines and airframes, there will be plenty of
social gatherings, shopping excursions and more.
Organizers promise the meals should be events to remember. They
include an authentic old west sundown cookout and a spectacular
group flight to the Red Rocks in Sedona for lunch.
Scottsdale is a popular place in the Spring, so make your hotel
reservations as soon as possible. LOPA has secured a discounted
rate at two hotels in the area. When booking at either one, mention
the Corporate Jets/LOPA discount to get the reduced rate.
