An Iowa welcome

Andrew Nicholas and Greg Nicholas Jr. plowed this message into the field next to the Mason City airport last week to welcome home family members Greg and Julie Nicholas and Bill and MaryLou Nicholas, who flew in after spending the winter in Florida. The pilot went back up after the scheduled landing to snap this picture. We join the Nicholas’ in welcoming home all the snowbirds! - Submitted photo.
