You should have came over onto the Omaha sectional and stopped by on
your way.

I thought monsters lay (lie?) off the edge of the sectional...

Maybe that's why I've never been on the Chicago sectional? ;-)

I know it's dumb, in this age of moving-map-GPS, but we truly are
artificially limited by our sectional boundaries. When we're thinking of
places to go, we just whip out the map and start hunting around for likely
targets -- and that means that anything "off the edge" never seems to get
seen.

For example, there are quite a few airports in southern Minnesota (less
than an hour away) that we've never been to, simply for that reason. It's
really dumb.

What airport are you based at again? Maybe we'll have to explore "off
the grid" one of these days?

It must be a 'border war' thing like Iowa/Wisconsin/Minnesota during college
football season only for us flyers, it's between the Omaha and Chicago
sectionals.

My plane is still hangared up at St James (JYG) for a few more months then
I'll move it down here to Fairmont (FRM) when the new hangars get built.

It's only 2.5 hours in my plane from JYG to IOW at 78 knots. One of these
daze... ;-)
