Wonderful! Glad you enjoyed it. There is, quite simply, nothing
else like flying.

Okay, here's your plan:

1. Come to the U.S. next summer.
2. Stay at our inn for two months. (We'll give you a great rate...)
3. Take your flight lessons at our airport. We have two flight
schools on the field.
4. Save yourself a bundle of money, and Mary and I will show you the
Midwest...

Gee, that will take 10 minutes! grin



"We did Nebraska in 7 1/2 minutes today. I think that's the best way
to do Nebraska." A quote from a sled pilot in the book Sled Driver by
Brian Shul.

That was about the SR-71 wasn't it?

Yes. Fascinating book. By chance, I went to the 1998 Stockton Air
Show and Brian Shul was there, autographing copies of his book. It is very
enjoyable reading! It does not bog down with technical details but really
relays the challenges and joy in flying the "sled". The quote about
Nebraska is one that you don't forget.
