KHCD to KLBF

Hutchinson, MN to North Platte Regional Airport Lee Bird FieldNorth Platte, Nebraska, USA

It took us a while to leave... low ceilings, low visibility, decals to put on, packing and repacking, loosing things, finding things, saying 'good byes'-hearing 'get out of here already', duct-taping equipment and personal belongings (for different reasons)... The flight went smooth. The weather suddenly improved. We didn't get lost. We ate on time and didn't get dehydrated. NE is different. And beautiful (from the air!) The only out of the ordinary event today was meeting Homer... a russian guy once wanted to kill this man (although if you ask me if he wanted to - he would have), his brother invented a word and it was published in a book, if it was not for him - we would have no power lines, he can prove that women do not rule this world... he has everything you need if you are nice to him... but we were not that nice, so we are still in need of lots of things... read about it all in Athina's memoirs that are coming out after this Air Race.
