What to do in Whicita?
Next month I am taking a little same day return to the burgh of Whicita, Kansas. Having never been there I am at a loss of what to do for the approximetly 3 hours I will have between flights. Any suggestions would be much appreciative. I'm there July 12.

Whicita, KS must must a very small place, because I've never heard of it.
Wichita, KS, on the other hand, does have a few things to visit. (same misspelling two times, so it's not a typo)
With just three hours I don't know if it's possible, but check this out:

Another on the slowly growing list of (odd) places I've been....
Mid Continent Aiport is as dull as.... There's not much you could do in three hours but you could kill a couple of hours by getting a taxi into the old town (basically a warehouse district converted into a leasure and shopping development) and have a look round. Just remember that you need to get a Taxi back (couple of years since my one and only trip out there but there is usually a taxi parked at a gas station/convenience store just off the old town).

There is a Boeing factory in Wichita (on the other side of the city next to McConnell Air Force Base). I'm not sure if they offer tours though.
