Flight Across The Midwest



We are in Sioux City, Iowa today and are headed out in a few hours for Oshkosh. We may not make it into the Seaplane base tonight but will get close.




The reason we are going to Oshkosh is because it is the largest aviation event in the world and we will have the "Spirit of Paradise" on display for a week in an area where 250,000 people will come by and see our plane. Our display is not located on the main grounds but will be at the Seaplane base a few miles away. There is a shuttle service to and from the main grounds. We will be spending long days talking to people about Samaritan Aviation and the difference this plane will make in Papua New Guinea. Evan Paki, the Ambassador, will be spending a few days with us and will be greeting the crowd on our behalf. Oshkosh is also a time to network with other mission aviation organizations and get the best deals on aviation related equipment.

Yesterday we flew over Kansas, Nebraska, and part way through Iowa. You can see the pictures of the States in that order. America is a beautiful place!
