"Interesting" and "Nebraska" are two words that never belong in proximity
What?! I take it you’ve never been to the “Corn Palace”?
That's in Mitchell, South Dakota.
How dare you mix up Nebraska with South Dakota.
Heathen.
It’s all the same right? Actually, I have to give SD credit. Rapid City is actually a pretty nice place. ND totally sucks though.

I laughed at a dude in Kansas or Nebraska... can't remember where. He was talking about how hard the flying in the Midwest was. "People from Alaska respect this type of flying." He was telling his young copilot ( in a King Air 90 no less).I see what you're saying with the high cielings, are you an eastern coast guy?
Believe me, this is typical for Nebraska TS, NE and KS are the home of scud running because the scud is at 2.5k . As a Nebraskan, I'm surprised the winds arent higher.
I freaking hate thunderstorms. I will happily take flying in Alaska over flying in the midwest.I laughed at a dude in Kansas or Nebraska... can't remember where.

I couldn't hold my tongue any longer, "no they don't" I rudely interrupted.
I didn't make a friend that day. Oh well....
I saw 1-one-eine thunderstorm when I flew up there. A baby compared to the boomers here.I freaking hate thunderstorms. I will happily take flying in Alaska over flying in the midwest.
I saw quite a few out by Bethel. But yeah, they are tiny compared to the Midwest. I better start getting used to them now that I will be going to Montana.I saw 1-one-eine thunderstorm when I flew up there. A baby compared to the boomers here.
My experience with the Nebraska native pilots are they can't wait to tell you how good their life is, how they never have to commute and how stupid and crazy it is more than 100,000 guys fly out for them big corporate jobs (they mean airlines). I have various replies, none of them work well.I laughed at a dude in Kansas or Nebraska... can't remember where. He was talking about how hard the flying in the Midwest was.
