Iowa State is 4+ hrs away by car from the homestead in the Twin Cities. We were blessed with great weather in the midwest today, so Andi and I took the 90 min flight to Ames to see college friends and eat good food!
Clear and a million over the heartland - 10kt tail wind, too!
The wind farms were harvesting.....
We had not seen Tom and Jeanne in years - it was great! That's Diet Coke in my hand.....
The Gals had a GREAT time!
Time to get back to the airport. If I wanna fly, I gotta pedal first - the airport is about 2 miles away.....
Long Horn Planes.......
Cyclone Plane!
I think we had more fun - even if the 'Horns kicked our corn-fed butts!
What a day! The sunset was amazing on the flight home.....
Even got a Bravo clearance right over downtown Minne!
These are amazing travelling machines - keep pounding those rivets....the payoff is worth the effort!
