Photo taken by me during the semester I taught at Oklahoma State University; family was on the way to KC to visit my wife's mother. This visit was important to my writing of the book on Air Midwest called Pioneer of the Third Level, which was later expanded into a 20 year history of the company. I. E. Quastler
Gary C. Orlando said:
I have the original edition of the book!!
Jay Pickett said:
Imre Quastler Thank you for those books, they are both great and unique. My father was a big part of Air Midwest and they are a great legacy to him. Is there any place I can get photos from those books?

Oh these horses work hard - note the rubbing on the neck from the collar.
jennifer thelen said:
This reminded me of the Wizard of Oz for some reason. I then realized that this was in Kansas. Perhaps it was something about the air in Kansas or the style of houses that reminded me of the scene in the movie?
Rach' White said:
I really like this picture, looks almost as if time stood still :-)
Pam said:
Looks like my backyard, horses and all.
Nancy Hastings said:
Excellent landscape, with these horses as the foreground subject. Nicely done!

What guy wouldn't like the title "Hump Master"?
Robbie Conaway said:
I'm glad somebody said something about this. I was begining to think I was all alone in finding this hilarious.
