Decided to take a vacation from our vacation time share in Vegas and went to Kingman AZ to have lunch at the Kingman Airport. Kingman airport is a small airport, well it was actually a military base during the 2nd world war where they trained pilots for the military. Most of that is gone replaced by a large industry area. A large business there is the storage of commercial airplanes (big jets) waiting to be brought back or sold for parts. But in the small terminal (they have a small regional carrier there now) is the Airport Cafe which is a ma and pa operation of about ten tables (some with reserved signs on them for the regulars) where they serve excellent food that is really home cooked. I had French Dip and deb had a cheeseburger, both were great. It is where pilots fly thier expensive airplanes to have a hundred dollar hamburger. Anyhow we left there and spent sometime taking pictures of the airplanes and their tail numbers so I can look up their history later. Then off to Laughlin, Nv to stay at the Riverside Hotel. Got my usual room on the 26th floor overlooking the Colorado River and of course the airport. Had a good prime rib dinner, did a little gambling, Deb came out ahead. And then today we came back to Vegas via California. Las Vegas is getting ready for Fall as they are expecting highs tomorrow of only 95 and lows around 75. Where is my jacket. They are also making US95 a four lane highway which is like making a local street into a superhighway. I guess they got the money.
Ciao
