Default KIOW is the place to be Sunday, too!

And flights into mountain strips....oh wait, never mind. You're 1000
miles from the fun flying.


Thankfully, no. We've got three big, wide runways, and enough grass to
satisfy the Cubs and Stearmans. Field elevation: 668'.

Scared the crap outta me yesterday, those grass-lovers did. (We don't have
a grass strip, really!) I was sitting on my Gator, waiting to park the next
plane, when I spotted the first Cub coming into land -- on the grass where
we were parking planes!

Luckily (a) Cubs don't use much grass, and (b) we've got LOTS of it. The
guy apologized, explaining that he couldn't get the tires for his '37 J-2
anymore...
