Kinda points out to me that, in spite of them being reasonably close to my paths, I have never landed in Colorado or Nebraska. This among other states, of course. It simply surprises me.
KIDA was much busier than I expected. Kinda nice. I have siblings/aunts/uncles/grandmother in the SLC area and a friend in Boise. My plan is to be out that way each year. Helps me build hours and high altitude experience.Based out of KSLC. Flew to KIDA twice last year. Randomly found an awesome Thai place the first time so decided to go again. The second time the waitress recognized us and sat down for like 30 minutes to chat.
Did the map, but I can't post a link yet.
