LSA Tour #3 Does Colorado Tomorrow

May 11, 2011 by James Lawrence Leave a Comment

Dave Graham of Legend Aircraft just sent out word that the next LSA Tour launches tomorrow for a 4-day swing up the front range of the Colorado Rockies. See the list of locations below. *** “We’ve adopted the four-day format,” says Dave. “The six-day tour is just too tiring.” Reporting on the Tour’s recent swing through the Southeast, Dave reports about 250 people came out to the Greenville, SC location. There was a restaurant, good support from the hosting FBO, and “some business was done that day.” *** Not all the venues were as cooperative as they could have been, he says, but considers this a work in progress and expects advanced planning will help sharpen up the logistics and overall experience down the road. *** Check prior reports on the Georgia LSA Tour and Florida LSA Tour. Each dealer brings a demo airplane which gives potential customers a great opportunity to strap on the aircraft and compare apples to apples — which can be a challenge at major airshows, with aircraft booths spread all over the place amid the background noise of other aviation attractions. *** Good luck folks on your third LSA Tour! *** LSA TOUR #3 SCHEDULE: • Thursday, May 12, 2011 — Fort Collins-Loveland Municipal Airport in Fort Collins / Loveland, Colorado (KFNL) • Friday, May 13, 2011 — Centennial Airport in Denver, Colorado (KAPA) • Saturday, May 14, 2011 — Front Range Airport in Denver, Colorado (KFTG) • Sunday, May 15, 2011 — Meadow Lake Airport in Colorado Springs, Colorado (KFLY) *** If you live near these areas and want to see some great Light-Sport Aircraft, come on out!
