Has the airport ever been used for a medical evacuation?


Actually, this is one of their biggest "businesses". University of Iowa
Hospitals and Clinics is one of the largest transplant centers in the
Midwest. It's also renowned for cancer treatment.

As such, we get a fairly constant stream of aircraft in, carrying nothing
but Igloo coolers.

Airport critics would say "so land at Cedar Rapids", which they claim is
just "20 minutes north". (Ha -- maybe in a Ferrari...), of course.


Maybe you should call the transplant surgeons and ask them if the extra 20
-30 minutes makes a difference. I bet it does.
