Back to Vintage Mooney Group Home Page LASAR's 35 Anniversary Fly-In
July 17, 2010

Hosted by
Paul & Shery Loewen

 

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.
