Forty Two (42) airplanes travelled to Lampson Field (1O2) on Saturday July 17th
to pay tribute to LASAR (Lake Aero Styling & Repair's) 35th Anniversary.
You got that correct. LASAR's been around since 1975. The weather
was severe clear and warm, as promised. The Mooneys kept landing one after
another, pretty as can be to pay tribute to Paul & Shery Loewen and their #1
staff.
In attendance was Trey & Lela Hughes of MAPA, Don & Jan Maxwell of Don Maxwell
Aviation Service, Tom/Mark/Beverly Rouch of Top Gun and dozens of Vintage Mooney
Group members including team leads Phil & Linda Corman and Greg Jacobs.
Oakland Center was very accomodating to us Mooneys and was jealous that he could
not attend the event. He gave phenomenal traffic advisories all the way
into the pattern at Lampson Field.
Beautiful approach over Clear Lake into Lampson Field
On short final to R/W 28 for the Celebration
Shery & Paul Loewen, founders of LASAR and the best people you could ever meet!
