Now, right here is, I believe, US Highway 95. So, the plane is not far
6:03
Highway 95. So, the plane is not far
6:03
Highway 95. So, the plane is not far from the highway and therefore gets
6:06
from the highway and therefore gets
6:06
from the highway and therefore gets quite a lot of visitors. And if a
