Valentines Day 2005
 
Ah, Valentine's Day.  That special day in February when romance is in the air -- and so are our guests! 
 
As part of our "Ultimate Valentine's Day" package, lovebirds receive champagne, Godiva chocolates, roses, a delivered to the suite breakfast -- and a 30 minute scenic airplane ride over Iowa City!
 
Because of bad weather predicted for Sunday -- the most popular day for rides -- we tried to move the rides to Saturday evening.   However, because of the short notice, only two of our couples were able to get airborne over the weekend, with another pair flying on Valentine's Day itself.  The others took "rain checks" (literally), and will hopefully be able to complete their flights at a later date.
 
Here are some pictures of our Valentine's Day aviators...

And another, for posterity...

The lights twinkling on...

This was Sunday -- NOT good flying conditions...

35 degree rain...yuck!

No one was able to fly Sunday...
