Tuesday June 25

Our second day of flying in the air race, and boy did we fly. We left Aberdeen South Dakota, flew through Minnesota and landed at Mason City Iowa. After waiting on weather for a bit we flew through Indiana for Decatur Illinois. We left there quickly to avoid thunder storms that were developing as the day got hotter We flew through Illinois and landed at Frankfurt KY. We kept asking each other, "where are we?" We were so hot when we landed in KY we needed to be hosed down. We didn't even check the weather to see if we could go on, we were too hot and much too tired. We got a lift to a hotel, and collapsed. It's hard to believe how much ground we covered today, or maybe I should say how much sky.
