I would think we'd have no problem filliing a few charter planes in Febr for a trip to Daytona 500..............the warm weatehr alone might even draw some non NAscar types??

Dittto s for Indianaplis 500 in May ....although prob to a lsesser extent

Also to Vegas at least once a week year round...as has been mnetioned here before ??

If we cant get regularly scheduled comm service..then at least sporadic charter flights are better than nothing
