Summary
After Christmas, Scooter, Crystal, Jon, Tanisha, and Myleigh spend a few days on the local ski slopes; Jon and Tanisha are picking it up and Myleigh is persuaded to try it and quickly gets the hang of it also.
On Thursday. they all head for the airport in Phoenix only to find that their flight to Chicago had been cancelled, and that they would be unable to make the rehearsal dinner or the wedding. Tanisha suggests that they should give Jennlynn a call to see if she could run a charter; she's agreeable and they take off with Jon and Tanisha, who will be returning to Phoenix with Jennlynn. The flight took about 3 hours (each way); after a couple of noisy passes over Randy's house to alert them to their arrival, they set down at the Spearfish Lake airstrip and are met by Nicole and the Clarks.
Jennlynn wants to get back in the air quickly; she has an appointment in Nevada. After a typically noisy takeoff Karin says: "Randy, Ryan, Linda, for years I dreamed of shaking things up when I came back to Spearfish Lake, but I have to admit that I never dreamed it would be in a Learjet owned and flown by a millionaire prostitute."
Also Mentioned
(Jennlynn said) "Mike Hanneman, my chief pilot, told me... 'There's only one possible name for a Cessna 310, and that's Songbird.'"
"Somebody else watched Sky King on Saturday morning when they were a kid, huh?" Al grinned.
