Showroom on Wheels Begins National Tour
The Columbia aircraft experience is coming to an airport near
you via the Company’s new “Fly Columbia Tour”
kicking off May 6-8 at the Central Texas Air Show in Temple, Texas.
The tour includes a customized semi-truck trailer that expands to
become a Lancair Columbia showroom on wheels.
The rolling exhibit includes a full-sized fuselage and cockpit
mock up, video programming, various educational displays and a
private area for Lancair Columbia owners and depositors. The
exhibit will be staffed by a combination of regional Lancair Sales
& Service Center and factory personnel.
“When you’re considering the purchase of a new
aircraft, there is no substitute for a trip to the factory to see
what the aircraft and the company are all about,” said
Lancair Vice President of Marketing and Sales Randy Bolinger.
“It may not be feasible for everyone considering a Columbia
to visit our headquarters in Bend, Oregon, but with the ‘Fly
Columbia Tour’ we can bring at least a piece of the Columbia
experience to them. We think it’s going to be a lot of fun
this summer.”
The Tour’s initial schedule starts in Texas, moves to the
Eastern Seaboard, crosses the country to the Northwest and then
returns eastward to Oshkosh, Wisconsin for AirVenture 2005. See the
schedule below for dates and places nearest you:
