| Subject: | Looking for fuel |
Those not on Facebook don't know about the trip Clytie and I are on. It started
out as a simple flight to help a new Tiger owner get his Tiger from Auburn to
New Jersey.
He needed the help because he'd never flown over mountains, let along the Rockies.
I convinced him he needed to see some real mountains as long as we're on the
way. Grand Tetons, here we come. I'll post a pic or two when we get back.
Somewhere in Easter South Dakota we began looking for fuel. So, you know how airports
have 3 letter identifiers? Well, the 3-letter for Rapid City is KRAP.
I called them on the radio and said, "KRAP tower, do you guys have gas?" The tower
came back with a chuckle, "Yes. We have gas."
I didn't have the heart to land there for gas. I couldn't stop laughing.

Not a bad stop there actually. Nice folks and neat location just east of
the Black Hills and Rushmore. But yes, KRAP is and always will warrant a
chuckle:)
