WE HAVE ARRIVED - AGAIN

Flying through the Front - out the window

Flying through the Front - on the GPS - minus the fingers

The country side was so lush and green

A swollen river

A power plant

Flower Aviation at Salina Kansas

Straight Out Wind Sock - normal for Kansas

More topography

Weather off our left

It probably took us 6 hours to get from Leesburg (where I picked up Rose) to Iowa City for the start the Air Race and today it took us 6 hours to get from Iowa City to Alliance, Nebraska for the re-start of the Air Race.  The winds were howling (in excess of 30 knots) in Salina where we stopped for lunch - what a pleasant FBO. The crew car was out but they lent us a truck to go have lunch - they even offered to make us sandwiches. Everyone said they flew through a bunch of rain - we were actually hoping to get the plane washed off and hardly got a drop.  Carol Sutton greeted us when we arrived in Alliance - how fun to see her. We didn't realize the impact,  besides the disappointment of not having us go to the airports but the financial impact of these airports that bought gas in anticipation of us coming there :(
