We've arrived at KIOW, Iowa City. The flight from KUMP to KIOW was uneventful; we stayed very low to keep out of the direct, strong headwinds. Other than some poofy fair-weather cumulus, it was very clear all the way over. It took about two hours and forty minutes to make the trip. I thought we were going to have to start paddling about half way there because of the winds. We averaged about 104 knots on the trip over.
We got the airplane tied down in the grass in our designated parking spot, and we've checked into our hotel, so we are pretty well settled. We're getting all of our ducks in a row for running credentials check-in tomorrow. Rumor has it that we may have problems with people who didn't do their safety training, so we'll see how that goes.
The airport layout at KIOW is a little goofy and a little small for having over forty airplanes arrive. Again, we'll have to see if madness ensues.
Jo and I ate at an awesome hamburger joint called "Shorty's Burgers and Shine." Fantastic. It's very close to the University of Iowa. It seems as if the downtown area takes a lot of influence from campus. It's pretty nice.
Jo and I are both beat. I think we'll be turning in early tonight. Got to be ready for credentials tomorrow!
