Beautiful Sunrise over the Midwest


Flying over MCI before turning back for landing


Another on time arrival, this time 18 mins into Kansas City. After helping Majuki with his flight meltdown since he’s was on a plane and thus unable to call AA. I took off for a half day trip in Kansas City, 8am – 4pm should be plenty of time. 62 degrees in Kansas City in January? What has this world come too?

First had to go back to the old TWA Headquarters


National World War I Memorial and Liberty Memorial



Took the elevator up to the top of the memorial which gives a wonderful view of Kansas City, don’t forget to ring the bell for service to get down from the memorial


Skyline of Kansas City, Missouri


I really enjoyed my time in the museum despite being of a WW2 geek myself, I actually spent 1 1/2 hr at a museum for one







By the time I was finishing touring the museum, it was almost 12pm and when you go to Kansas City, you have to go for barbeque!!!

Luckily Friendlyskies gave me the suggestion of Jack Stacks BBQ



Also went to Union Station to understand the Kansas City Massacre



With a quick day trip in Kansas City, time to head back to MCI for another flight out west then off to Omaha the next morning.
I wonder how many mid-con consecutive day Red-Eye I have to do to set a FT record?
Would 3 do it?
