Glasair Aviation and Flabob Airport are hosting the Glasair Fly-In marking the 30th anniversary of the debut of the Glasair design. As with all fly-ins, there will be a lot of fun flying, socializing and hangar talk. There will also be the invaluable information swapping about the various Glasair models and of course the usual “show and tell” offered by proud builders. Rumor has it that the original Glasair I prototype will be in attendance and on display!
Friday evening, there will be a wine and cheese welcome party. Saturday offers fly-out activities, maintenance seminars and Q&A sessions, and concludes with an evening banquet at the facilities of EAA Chapter One, with Tom Hamilton, Ted Setzer and Henri Chorosz scheduled as featured speakers. Departures will be Sunday morning.
Those attending will enjoy a tour of the historic Flabob Airport and a private viewing of Tom Wathen’s Golden Age Replica Racers: the Comet, Meteor, Firecracker and Caudron. Demonstration flights in a Two Weeks To Taxi Sportsman 2+2 will be available on a pre-scheduled basis.
“We are really excited about getting together with multiple generations of Glasair, Glastar and Sportsman builders” said Mikael Via, President of Glasair Aviation. “I’m sure that every Glasair/Glastar owner will have a busy, enjoyable three days at Flabob Airport, which seems like an excellent site to hold this event, given its rich history, the EAA Chapter One facility and range of excellent activity within a short drive of the airport.”
