Weather permitting, Mike will be flying over from Bend in a Lancair Columbia. He worked in the sales department for Lancair in early 1992, providing marketing and sales support. He then moved to Lancair's Certified Production Division in November of 1998. Because of the general appeal of the event, the Board has invited members of the Corvallis Chapter of the OPA to attend. The OSU Flying Club will be volunteering services to facilitate aircraft ground control for parking.
Planning is now in progress to identify and prioritize parking areas.
The engine installation for 16ED is complete and the aircraft is back on line. In addition to the engine change, the aircraft completed an annual inspection. Also, the landing gear underwent die-penetrate analysis for cracking and passed the inspection with no cracks. The Propeller was also refurbished. The existing hub had some corrosion and was replaced.
