You live next to an airport Tom? Forget about the semi truck, I'm now thinking a cargo plane is needed. Hilarious!


Wow Barbara, you have built up quite the large collection! Thumbs up

Yup, the airport is on the South side of the road, and I'm on the North. Yes, Mary Ann, that building is one of the hangers for the airport. Bring it, Rob, and we'll fill it! Rolling on the floor laughing

Must be a small, private airport Tom? For privately-owned planes? Do airplanes landing and taking off spook the horses?

And from the photos Tom posts his iris bloom time is followed by many other plants bloom time. Lovely, indeed.

It's a small commercial airport, that used to be served by Northwestern, but is not any longer. They put in a new mulit zillion dollar runway a couple years ago mainly because the GM plant needed to land larger aircraft, then of course GM closed it's plant here. It has 4 landing strips two for smaller craft, and two for the monsters. Airforce One landed here a couple of times a few years ago and took off from the runway that's right near me. It was kind of fun to watch it take off. There's a very nice newer golf course next to it that is quite popular with the fly in golfers.

And if the runways are too icy and snowy for the plane to leave once loaded... just UPS the irises south. no problem. They will be in good hands. BIG SMILES .....harder for the Cheese Head to track that way too..... just thought I'd mention extra options....
