We flew into Downtown at night on our trip back from Las Vegas. It was
undergoing a major construction project. The long runway was completely
torn up and the short runway was shortened on both ends. Barricades and
construction equipment were everywhere. Check the notams before heading
into MKC.

Not only is Angel Flight's headquarters on the field, but Howard Hughes
former TWA office building houses the FBO. The SAC Save a Connie
organization is also based at MKC.

I highly recommend a steak at the Savoy and overnight stay at the Marriot.

I just got back from a business trip to K.C., and had the opportunity
to stay in the downtown area.

Driving in on highway 29 South from the airport, towards downtown, took
us right by the downtown airport, as what looked like a Malibu was
taking off. It was such a cool site, taking in the background of
downtown, the layout of the airport, and the plane blending into the
landscape!

I also noticed that there was an Angel Flight office on the field, as I
could see the sign from the freeway... Is this where the head-quarters
is???

I've always thought about how cool it would be to continue to work in
my current field, but have the opportunity to commute into work (I know
the realities of this would probably make it less attractive). This
airport seems like the perfect airport for that type of lifestyle???
...(20 acre ranch with runway, 70-80 miles out of the city...) ...Oh
well... back to reality! ;-)

I just thought it was a cool looking airport and was wondering if
anyone in the news-group lives in that area and commutes into that
airport?

Best Regards,
Todd
