Oh, the places you'll go!

Since I'm in the travel frame-of-mind, I thought I would create my own post of airports I've been to.  Alisonwonderland did a post like this a while back, so I'm just stealing her idea here.  I thought it would be interesting.
BTW, I don't know why, but the Dr. Seuss book was the first thing that came to mind when I was thinking of a title for this post. 
"You'll be on your way up!
You'll be seeing great sights!
You'll join the high fliers
who soar to high heights."
--Dr. Seuss, "Oh, the Places You'll Go"

Where's that Plane? Part II

Here it is: FlightView in action. At this very moment (or at least a few moments ago depending on how fast Blogger uploads my post and how long-winded my typing is...) Alisonwonderland's plane is somewhere over Kansas (West of Kansas City, North of Wichita).
