DAY 9, LEG 47 - Wichita to Minneapolis
Thanks to Beechcraft we have a new interior for our passengers to enjoy on our return to Tanzania and they have also carried out our most recent maintenance check which means we can continue our tour without any further delay. We head to the land of 10,000 lakes, Minnesota. Normally we would have landed at Minneapolis St. Paul International Airport but the landing charges were so expensive we decided to stop at Flying Cloud Airport, a short distance from Minneapolis city centre.
Parked first thing in the morning outside the Beechcraft hangar where the aircraft was first built.
