We woke up early in the morning to a calamity of a storm, as expected, so we took our time packing for departure and allowed the weather to pass over us.
I decided Omaha had the best chance for a crew car and good lunch options, so we got to the airport and departed under clear skies. The leg to Omaha was a long one, longer than I prefer, and I elected to fly with economy cruise on account of the headwinds. The approach and landing were easy, with just a bit of wind.
When we arrived (in our 47th state via the Mooney!) we got the crew car and went into the city to have lunch at a great little cafe called Brunch Box, which Katherine loved due to their abundance of vegan options.
We walked around the city some and explored the Old Market before heading back. I even managed to snag a Nebraska sticker.
On the way back to the airport I saw the pile of destroyed airplanes and hangars from the recent tornado... it was quite a sad sight, with at least one recognizable Mooney tailfin in the wreckage.
