Beechcraft and Cessna!

 Durant, Oklahoma, and the Choctaw Casino Resort, were extraordinarily nice, and very much appreciated, but it’s time to move on. Three hundred miles north on Interstate 35 we have found ourselves in Wichita, Kansas. We’re staying at an rv park named Air Capital RV a mile or so off of I35. I wondered about the name, and soon discovered why.

Our route today took us across Lake Texoma and then on to the infamous cities of Norman and Moore, Oklahoma (no signs of tornadoes, thank you very much), and on into Oklahoma City.

Oklahoma City was a breeze to navigate through.



Oke City is understandably a large, busy city, but I’ve got to say it was cake to drive through. Nice!

Just inside the Kansas border, I 35 becomes a toll road, the Kansas Turnpike. Immediately, the road conditions improved immensely, and we were happy to pay the toll. On our last trip through here, toll booths slowed traffic at entrances and exit. That has been automated now, and camera systems track road usage. No muss, no fuss!

Our site at Air Capital RV is a nice end site with a patch of grass for Sasha. We plan to stay for a day or two so we can find out more about the aircraft manufacturers Beechcraft and Cessna, who have a large presence in the area. Wichita was the location of a huge aircraft manufacturers during World War Two, and the flying fascination has been held over. We’ll see.
