or so hit in one afternoon in a 50 mile radius of Wichita, I had my Bronco packed my rollaway loaded and was headed to the coast of Georgia by noon the next day, and I never went back to Kansas!

Well, 14 tornadoes is a bit much, but you aren't completely safe there either. In Georgia and Tennessee, we call mobile homes "tornado bait." And if you're on the coast, you get the occasional hurricane too. George Patterson There's plenty of room for all of God's creatures. Right next to the mashed potatoes. |

HEE HEE,
Yep George we call them tornado magnets. And yep the tornadoes are bad enough in TN and GA , but let me tell you the ones in Kansas are just unreal. Miles wide some of them...really spooky. Hope I never see another one. Patrick student SPL aircraft structural mech "George Patterson" wrote in message news:UpOfe.5062$Dn.1199@trndny02...

Another scenic choice is the Great Lakes area. Lots of people hate
Chicago because the mayor recently bulldozed Meigs field, but it's an easy city to get to commercially. Local flight schools tend to be expensive but then the current value of the Euro makes everything a bargain in the U.S.... |
