BTW, how did you enjoy landing over the levee that keeps the Missouri
River off the airport? Wonder how many heavily loaded airplanes have
it it on takeoff.


Mary was PIC, and we came in really high. In fact, on short final I
commented to her (rather wryly, I thought) that we could "land anytime
now" after we had floated some 2000 feet down the runway. From that
altitude, I didn't notice any levee, but we had plenty of runway to
spare.

I think perhaps we were just too awestruck by the proximity of the
downtown buildings, and the size of the huge railyard that is adjacent
to the airport, to notice the levee!

I found the whole experience to be enjoyable, and I suspect we will be
visiting Kansas City often!
