Big Day Today

Big Day!  Had a sighting of Nate Lammers getting 100 octane airplane fuel for his lawn mower at Benton Harbor airport.  We were getting ready to take off for New Orleans.  Sorry, no pics, too surprised by the sighting, then trying to imagine Nate's flying lawn mower.

Here's the pic climbing out over St. Joseph:

Then, landed for fuel in southern Missouri next to a flooded Mississippi River.

And, it turns out they sell Fried Bologna sandwiches out of vending machines here!!  WHO KNEW??
