Good luck and congrats on your success. I enjoyed my stay, by the way.

Thanks, Doug. You still have the singular honor of being the only
float-plane to have visited us here in Iowa!

Wow! It must have rained A LOT there, lately!

So we've got three years of creating/running an aviation-theme-suite hotel
under our belt now, things are going well, and it's time to start thinking
about adding another location.

Trouble is, I'm afraid that our current location may be almost unique.
Here's what we need in order to duplicate our success:

1. A small-to-medium hotel on, or adjacent to, an airport.
2. The airport must be very close to the city that it serves. No
"out-in-the-boonies" airports, please.
3. The city must have another attraction that creates hotel business.

In our case, it's the University of Iowa that creates the alternative
business. (There simply aren't enough of us pilots to solely support a
hotel, sad to say.) In other locales, it might be a tourist attraction.

Any suggestions? We would prefer a warm-weather climate, to off-set our
Midwest location, and to prolong the flying season -- but we're open to
suggestions. (Ideally, it would be fun to have a southern hotel to run
in
winter, and the Iowa location to run in summer! :-)

(Better yet, an Australian location to run from November - April, and our
Iowa location to run form May - October!)

You intend to die at the stadium?

Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your neighbor.
It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him.

Nope , goodness knows where I will die, I just want to be buried beside all
the UGA's. All the mascot dawgs (Uga) are buried at the end of the football
field. Wife says she doesn't care!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Looks great, Jim -- but it's four miles from the airport!

Jay,

How about KMBO? Southern charm airport with build to suit lots for sale on
the northwest end of the airport.

Taxi ways are to be built for businesses that build on the lots per for
sale signs.

What more can you you ask for *smile*. Taxi right up to your room.

Well Jay, this is north east of you, not warm in the winter nor is it near a
large city but attractions abound. It is already themed.
The runway is now closed but last I saw, it was still there. So is the twin
(check out the panoramic) on static display.
I am really only posting it cause it is sooo cool. ;-)
