The third garage we visited. The red 409 car was owned by Toby at one time...and the current owner (and Toby's friend) wanted it BAD...and told Toby so. Toby told him that sorry, the car was sold (which it was...).

Fast forward to a car show in Spencer on Father's Day weekend, where the car showed up and was parked right across the way from where Toby's friend was parked. Toby's friend told Toby that he needed to find out who the owner was so he could buy it, so Toby walked up to his friends son...who promptly handed the keys to the car.....to his dad. The son had bought the car for his dad!!

Way stuff for sure....

Some of the town...the folks were very hospitable and the food was GOOD!

The change in temperature was pretty dramatic. It was 70 degrees when we left Scottsdale at 6:30am on Friday...and 0 degrees when we landed in Spencer

It even snowed about 2-3 inches on Saturday morning so we got to experience that as well!

Here's some shots of when we first landed in Spencer...and then some on the hangar when we were getting ready to leave. Also a few on the take off and the quick ascent to our cruising altitude. Chris got to be co-pilot on the way home

On the trip to Iowa, we stayed at about 37,000 feet with a 152mph tail wind at one point the indicated ground speed was close to 661 mph...and we made the trip in two hours.

One the way back, the trip took about 3 hours. We stayed pretty consistently at 41,000 feet and the speed varied from 350 to 400 mph as shown on the monitors...which were cool as heck!
