Pronunciation of "Lancair"

Recommended Posts

Guest KChapman

In my mind I've always pronounced the word "Lancair" in the name Lancair Legacy as:Lan - kayr'(Lan as in "pan" around the cockpit)However, last week I stopped by Avionics Systems in Leesburg, VA (the one that advertises in Sport Aviation), and a fellow in there pronounced it:Lan - sayr'Hmm. How's it go???Curious and grateful for your response(s),Kevin

our company did the civil engineering work for both of the hanger expnsion projects here in Oregon.It is pronounced as lance-air (lance as in to 'lance a wound' or the medieval weapon)hope that helps.


CPU: Core i5-6600K 4 core (3.5GHz) - overclock to 4.3 | RAM: (1066 MHz) 16GB
