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



Go home with a Private Pilot's Certificate in your purse for thousands less
than it would cost in Europe.

(You can see the inn on our website, below...)

Let see..

Walk out side. 15 Seconds

Say, "That's Corn." 2 Seconds


Jimmy I think you've scheduled in 9+ extra minutes.

And how would you get to Iowa, let alone Iowa City without seeing corn???

Walk around. 30 seconds

Say, "Them's beans" 2 seconds

Now you have just tripled your tour time in Iowa...

There's way more to the Midwest than Iowa.

From here, Atlas can take us to Kansas City, St. Louis, Minneapolis, the
Ozarks, or any of a hundred cities -- for brunch -- and have you back in
your hotel suite by supper time!

MUCH more time than that! Why, you could drive for hours, to see much more
than the corn! g

You forgot about having to bundle up for the winter weather.

We just got the Mother-in-law SNOW report on the phone.

I-94 in North Dakota is closed from Bismarck (Capital) to the Montana
border. Minot ND area is reporting 14 inches of snow today - schools,
businesses, Post Office closed. Heavy 'breaking branches' snow.

This storm will miss Minnesota (and Iowa) but winter won't. We were in the
80's for the past few days, now were heading for the 30's.

80's for the past few days, now were heading for the 30's.


Yesterday at this time we were at the hangar, wearing shorts, drinking a
cold one. The temperature was 86 degrees, and it was humid like Florida.

Today, the temperature is 45 degrees, we're wearing light coats, and spent
the afternoon closing the pool up for the year.

If you don't like the weather here, just wait a few hours!
