Default K.C. Downtown Airport

Not only is Angel Flight's headquarters on the field, but Howard Hughes
former TWA office building houses the FBO. The SAC Save a Connie
organization is also based at MKC.


Interesting... I was not aware of any of that. Next time I'm there, I
think I stop in for a look around.

If I flew in the mid-west, I would definitely add it to my list of
fly-ins! It really does have an attraction to it, that I can't quite
put to words! Seeing that plane take off, and taking in the entire
surroundings was very cool.

I highly recommend a steak at the Savoy and overnight stay at the Marriot.


I've heard of the Savoy, and was staying at the Marriot (facing the
airport). I was only in town long enough for one dinner out, and we
ended up going to Famous Dave's. I'll have to make sure Savoy is on
the list, next time.

I do like BBQ, and don't get caught up in all of the BBQ hype in K.C.,
but Famous Dave's was exceptional. I even bought 3 bottles of their
BBQ sauce to take home. I highly recommend the "Devil's Spit"

Best Regards,
