Airplanes could be seen taxiing down the streets of Scottsdale, Arizona, in the early morning hours as they made the two-mile journey from the Scottsdale airport to the WestWorld special events facility where the annual Barrett-Jackson collector car auction is held from January 13-20.

Lancair is one of the manufacturers in attendance with the high-performance turboprop Evolution on display. Lancair was one of the first airplane manufacturers to recognize the value of displaying airplanes at the car show — which attracts hundreds of thousands of people each year — when the Lancair Columbia was showcased in 2005.
