LOBO — the Lancair Owners and Builders Organization — has again partnered with Lancair International Inc. to organize the third annual LOBO/Lancair Landing. Scheduled for Oct. 4-6 at the Hilton Greenville in Greenville, S.C., the educational event will be preceded by LOBO’s Ground School on Oct. 3.
The event is a change to bring together Lancair owners and aviation enthusiasts with those who supply and support them, according to organizers.
“This is the third year LOBO and Lancair have teamed up to help Lancair owners learn to more safely operate and maintain their aircraft while fostering relationships with vendors and the general aviation community,” said LOBO Vice President and Event Co-Chairperson Claudette Colwell. “This annual event has become an invaluable venue for LOBO members to learn more about their aircraft, to get the latest operational and safety recommendations, to network with suppliers and to meet other Lancair owners. Anyone who has ever thought about owning a Lancair aircraft or considered supporting the Lancair community with products and services should not miss this event.”
Attendees may enroll in a LOBO’s Ground School scheduled for Oct. 3, with topics covering operational safety, first-flight preparation and orientation for non-pilot cockpit companions.
Following are two full days of fact-filled forums hosted by experts, vendor presentations and displays, field trips enjoying the local highlights and a chance for builders to show off their Lancair aircraft while meeting other Lancair owners, builders and enthusiasts.

Kudos to Lancair for doing the right thing. In three days, Lancair will generate far more value added to aviation safety than that provided by all of the third class medicals issued by the FAA.
