Where is a good place to park and watch it landing?

There is a ball field to the east of the runway that’s off the road. Or you could pay $1 and park at the airport & watch from their. Myself, I think I will go to the ball diamond there.

Airplane lands in PG? Too bad our mayor doesn’t form an official welcoming committee with one of them real good brass bands with uniforms. The whole townsfolk might show up. Hot dogs, soda pop and balloons for the kiddies. How about it, Sherri? Could even make the front page in this broke ‘burg.
