Unfortunately, the wireless cut off after about 10 minutes, so I don’t have the entire recording. But it was a great turnout. Thank you to everyone at William Mitchell for being such a great host.

I did find fascinating how well MSP is maintained during the snow. I landed during (what I would call a blizzard but here is just a) shower of 6 inches of snow. After each plane landed, a series of 6 plows cleaned up the runways. It is remarkable how efficient the airport is.
