In January of 2003, Paul was treated to a flight over Clear Lake, IA. Here are more of Paul's great photos & commentary of what you're seeing...
City of Clear Lake from above, looking east. Surf Ballroom in
center of photo, frozen lakeshore on right side. Highway 18 runs west to east across top left hand corner.
Looking southwest, Clear Lake lake is center on the horizon. The north to south Interstate I-35 is seen across the middle foreground.
Looking northwest over City Park and the famous water tower. Note the group of people out on the ice.
Surf Ballroom from the air looking west.
A familiar sight to many visitors, particularly the 'Brits'. It's the Super 8 Motel and Happy Eater complex.
The crash site from the air, is on the fence line just left of
center.
Note the couple of people waving to us.
