As a fly-in, he provides a same-day, before 6:00pm local time cancellation
policy, so no fee.

Whoo-wee....this is the new "stranger than fiction" award-winner:

After hearing "Peter" on Unicom, I went to the airport...

....and met the plane on the ramp...
....a Bonanza...just like Peters...
....with the tail number ending in the same letter "W"...
....AND the guy's name *was* "Peter"...

and it wasn't "our" Peter!

First time THAT has ever happened before...the guy sure was surprised!

So, we still don't know where the "real" Peter is....

He posted from, NY(?), he had instrument problems - was considering VFR.
Those posts came in between 1:30pm and 3:00pm this afternoon.

Roger that. However, Peter spoke with Mary on the phone since then,
first to cancel his reservation, then to UN-cancel it, cuz he was going
VFR.

Hope everything is alright. I don't see any significant weather that
he couldn't have easily circumnavigated between New York and Iowa...

hmm... that sounds awfully suspicious to me... are you sure that you're not
just kidnapping transient pilots to fill up the Inn??!

"Ok, your N number ends in "W", come with me... during your stay you shall
be named Peter R., what's that? your name really is Peter? Get in the van,
keep your hands where I can see them, and no sudden moves. Mary, unlock the
Lindberg Baby Suite, I've caught another one!"

Peter made it! They didn't arrive until 11 PM last night -- long after
we had left for the day -- but I had left the courtesy van at the
airport for them, so it all worked out. My night manager checked them
in, and they apparently had a restful stay.

This morning we got to meet Peter's two young sons, and his dad, and
had a delightful time. We set the boys up on the big-screen flight sim
in the theater (those kids were NATURALS, not surprisingly!), while I
gave Peter the "nickel tour"...

Unfortunately we didn't really get to do much beyond that, cuz the
skies were getting juicy and Peter wanted to get out ahead of the
predicted thunderstorms. So, the plans to "do" our Jazz Festival and
show them around town will have to wait till next time...but it was
great to see them nonetheless!

BTW: Thanks, Peter, for the "brewer's box" of "Wicked Ale" -- it will
certainly be put to good use... (And we all got a good laugh at your
"farewell" on Unicom...! :-)
